CoverMe Fitness and payroll platform Jebra have partnered to deliver a single, end-to-end system that links class scheduling, team management and last-minute cover with automated payroll for fitness operators.

The integration merges CoverMe’s scheduling and recruitment tools with Jebra’s AI-driven payroll engine, allowing studios and gyms to move from roster creation to pay runs without switching platforms. Both companies said the combined workflow is designed to cut administrative friction and free staff to focus on revenue-generating tasks and member experience.

“Fitness operators don’t need more tools—they just need the right ones,” CoverMe CEO Rosanna Tucker said in the announcement. “Payroll should be just as effortless as scheduling and recruitment, and thanks to our new partnership it now is.”

Jebra, marketed as the first payroll system built exclusively for shift-based teams, automates variable pay rates, bonuses, overtime, tax deductions and invoicing. Its companion employee app gives staff real-time access to payslips, payment history, tax details and savings features.

CoverMe’s on-demand platform handles day-to-day management, recruitment and emergency cover for fitness professionals. Both CoverMe and Jebra already integrate with software provider Mariana Tek; the new partnership extends that shared ecosystem so data flows from scheduling through payroll without manual re-entry.

“We’ve always believed shift work — variable pay, bonuses, split roles — needs a dedicated payroll platform,” Jebra co-founder Tufool Alnuaimi said. “Partnering with CoverMe means teams can now go from scheduling to payroll without breaking flow. It’s one connected experience, and it’s long overdue.”

In January, CoverMe Fitness partnered with Snap Fitness to help streamline compliance. Under that partnership, CoverMe is now a required component for all 75 Snap Fitness locations in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

Wearable technologies are revolutionizing health care, but design limitations in adhesive-based personal monitors have kept them from meeting their full potential.

A new University of Arizona study, published in Nature Communications, describes a longer-lasting, 3D-printed, adhesive-free wearable capable of providing a more comprehensive picture of a user’s physiological state.

The device, which measures water vapor and skin emissions of gases, continuously tracks and logs physiological data associated with dehydration, metabolic shifts and stress levels.

“Wearable health monitoring traditionally depends on sensors that directly attach to the skin, but the skin itself constantly renews,” said Philipp Gutruf, an associate professor of biomedical engineering and member of the BIO5 Institute at the U of A who co-authored the study with lead author David Clausen, a doctoral student and researcher in the Gutruf Lab.

“This limits how long you can collect reliable data. With our sensor that tracks gaseous emissions from the skin, we overcome this constraint entirely,” Gutruf said.

Skin shedding weakens adhesives and clogs sensors, so wearables applied with adhesives must be reapplied every few days. Researchers in the Gutruf Lab at the U of A designed a device, worn on the forearm, that resembles a small 3D-printed cuff and can be worn continuously. The device sensors constantly measure gases emitted by the user, comparing their concentrations against normal outside air.

Unlike adhesive-based sports science and health monitoring wearables, which historically only record snapshots, the device developed by Gutruf and his colleagues delivers continuous, real-time data viewable on a smartphone or computer via secure Bluetooth.

“This opens an entirely new space of biomarkers,” said Gutruf. “For example, you can capture the metabolic signatures of exercise or stress without interrupting the subject’s normal routine. Previously, measurements of this kind required an entire room of equipment.”

Practical applications, proven results

With a device such as this, athletes can monitor hydration and exertion during training. The wearable could also record mental health and chronic disease symptoms to aid in prevention and treatment. In fact, tracking and monitoring physiological signs of stress in gas emissions can even help identify early metabolic disturbances, Gutruf said.

“Our design is stable even when exposed to everyday movement and environmental changes,” said Clausen. “We’re able to record data continuously over many days without recharge, all while capturing rich physiological data that isn’t typically possible in a wearable format or requires visible sweat.”

The researchers plan to expand the range of detectable biomarkers and integrate advanced data analytics to provide personalized health insights over even longer periods.

Tricion Defense Group is proud to stand at the forefront of this strategic transformation. As one of the largest private U.S. direct investment in Saudi Arabia’s defense sector, we are not only enabling the Kingdom to localize critical capabilities in electronic warfare, air defense, and C4I—but we are also contributing to U.S. economic growth by injecting capital into innovation, technology development, and advanced manufacturing across both nations. This SR4 billion ($1.06 billion) commitment—announced in partnership with NESMA Information and Technologies (NIT)—represents more than an MOU; it is a declaration of our belief that Saudi Arabia must lead from the front—not follow. It is also a bold affirmation of our support for the American innovation engine, which remains the most valuable strategic asset of the United States. President Trump’s visit has reignited a new era of industrial alignment between our two nations. Through this investment, we are laying the foundation for a next-generation model of defense collaboration: faster, bolder, and unapologetically strategic. We thank the leadership of both nations, especially Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, for enabling a partnership of this scale and consequence.”

IHG Hotels & Resorts has unveiled plans to bring its boutique Hotel Indigo brand to the picturesque seaside town of Torquay, in partnership with The Fragrance Group. The upcoming property, featuring 153 thoughtfully designed rooms, will join IHG’s growing collection of lifestyle and luxury hotels across the UK and Ireland. This latest addition marks the 26th Hotel Indigo either open or in development in the region, strengthening IHG’s position in one of the country’s most cherished leisure destinations.

Situated in Devon’s beloved Torquay, the hotel aims to capture the spirit and charm of its local surroundings. Designed to reflect the distinct character of the area, Hotel Indigo Torquay will offer guests an immersive experience rooted in the unique culture and history of the English Riviera. Its doors are set to open in the latter half of 2025, catering to both domestic holidaymakers and international visitors seeking a quintessential coastal escape.

Nestled within the scenic landscape of Torbay—a coastal region comprising the towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham—the hotel’s location promises travelers a charming and dynamic seaside getaway. Torquay, famed for its Victorian elegance and beachside allure, will provide the perfect backdrop for a destination that blends relaxation with sophisticated hospitality.

The property will feature a variety of high-end amenities designed to elevate the guest experience. A standout highlight includes a rooftop bar with sweeping views of the bay, ideal for sunset cocktails or relaxed evening gatherings. Expansive terraces facing the sea will create ideal lounging spaces for guests to take in the stunning coastal scenery, from the bustling marina to golden beaches and the picturesque harbour.

On the ground floor, a signature restaurant and bar will serve as a vibrant social hub for guests and locals alike, offering a curated menu that celebrates local flavours and seasonal ingredients. Whether guests are starting their day with a hearty breakfast or ending it with a refined dinner, the culinary offerings will reflect the rich coastal culture of the region.

Wellness and fitness will also play a central role in the hotel’s offerings. Guests can maintain their routines at a modern gym equipped with the latest fitness technology or unwind in the tranquil on-site spa. A menu of indulgent treatments will be available, providing a soothing retreat after a day of coastal exploration or sightseeing in Torquay’s charming streets.

With Hotel Indigo Torquay, IHG continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating one-of-a-kind hospitality experiences that are deeply connected to their surroundings. The new hotel not only complements IHG’s expanding lifestyle portfolio but also adds value to the English Riviera’s tourism appeal by offering a modern, design-led stay for leisure travelers.

This latest development reflects IHG’s broader strategy to grow its Hotel Indigo brand in distinctive neighbourhoods across the UK and beyond—where each hotel tells a local story through its design, amenities, and service approach. As anticipation builds for its 2025 opening, Hotel Indigo Torquay is set to become a flagship destination that blends seaside elegance with the personalized charm that defines the Hotel Indigo experience.

Joanna Kurowska, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Our Hotel Indigo brand has experienced accelerated growth in Europe and globally in recent years, propelling owner and guest appetite for the brand. Leisure destinations such as Torquay, known for its seaside charm and year-round activities, perfectly embody Hotel Indigo’s commitment in providing guests with memorable stays entrenched in the stories of their neighbourhoods.

With our UK & Ireland growth strategy focused on conversions and capitalising on opportunities in leisure and secondary markets, Hotel Indigo Torquay is a great example of a hotel we are keen to add to our growing portfolio. We are also delighted to partner with Fragrance Group for the first time with this significant hotel and look forward to growing our partnership in the future.”

The upcoming property will become part of the growing Hotel Indigo portfolio in the UK and Ireland, which already features nineteen operational locations, such as Hotel Indigo Coventry that launched in the previous year. Hotel Indigo Torquay will also be among the six new additions currently under development by IHG, with notable openings including Hotel Indigo London – Clerkenwell and Hotel Indigo Leeds, both scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2025.

Martin Rogers, representing Fragrance Group, said: “Torbay has firmly earned its place as one of the UK’s top tourist destinations, thanks to its unique blend of natural beauty and wealth of leisure opportunities. With ongoing developments along the town’s waterfront location, Torquay will continue to be recognised as a leading leisure destination in the UK.

We are confident that working alongside IHG Hotels & Resorts, with their expert knowledge of the UK & Ireland market, backed by their industry leading powerful enterprise, that Hotel Indigo Torquay will become a market leader in Torquay’s luxury and lifestyle segment. We are excited to welcome guests to our luxury Resort Hotel in the heart of The English Riviera when we open our doors.”

The addition of Hotel Indigo Torquay marks a significant milestone in expanding IHG’s footprint across the UK and Ireland. With this new signing, the group reinforces its presence in the region, where it currently manages three hundred sixty-three properties and has an additional thirty-three hotels in the pipeline.

The global gaming accessories market growth is driven by the growing demands of competitive gaming and technological innovation. Gaming peripherals have evolved from simple gaming input devices to high-technology equipment engineered for peak performance, and firms focus on producing specialized gaming peripherals that offer precise control and added durability. According to industry surveys, over 214 million US gamers alone on a regular basis engage in game activity, and this confirms the expanding base of gamers for game peripherals. Following this increase in gaming activity comes increased demand for high-performance-peripherals like incredibly precise optical sensor mice, highly optimized mechanical keyboards with optimized actuation distances, and customizable controllers.

Moreover, the merging of the latest technologies is transforming the global gaming accessories market outlook, particularly in the virtual and augmented reality segment. Industry projections estimate that the user base of AR and VR games will reach 216 million users by 2025, while around 59% of technology CEOs identify gaming as the primary reason for implementing VR technology. Big manufacturers are confronting this trend with the introduction of new VR-compatible accessories and peripherals, such as Sony’s next-gen VR headsets for PlayStation 5 and HP’s introduction of the Reverb G2 VR headset with cross-platform compatibility.

What Impact Does AI Have on Gaming Accessories?

By augmenting the gaming experience with smart devices such as AI-driven gaming mice, headphones, and controllers, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the gaming accessories industry. With adaptive feedback and predictive analytics that adjust in real time according to player actions, these technologies enhance gaming. The setting could become more immersive with AI-driven accessories that enhance accuracy, ergonomics, and immersion.

  • For instance, in January 2024, Logitech launched their AI-driven “G Pro X” gaming headset, which is equipped with adaptive sound technology. It has real-time adjustments of audio while gaming, promoting realism and precision by dynamically scaling audio levels as per the in-game situation of the player.

Gaming Accessories Market Dynamics

Gaming Accessories Market Drivers

Emerging Esports Industry & Professional Gaming

  • The rapid expansion of esports has become a major driver for the gaming accessories market as competitive gaming necessitates specialized high-performance gear for optimal performance. Competitive players and esports experts become more reliant on precise gaming gear, as a testament to average annual spending by American competitive gamers of USD 425 for gaming peripherals and game downloads. Increased spending on gaming peripherals comes at the heels of the demand for extreme precision optical sensors on gaming mice, the lowest possible actuation distance of gaming keyboard switches, and retractable rear paddles for professional controllers.

Innovation in Technology Through Gaming Peripherals

  • The global gaming accessories market is witnessing huge growth due to rapid technological advancement, particularly in virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC). According to estimates from the market, the worldwide base of users for VR games will reach 216 million by 2025, boosting demand for VR headsets and associated peripherals. This innovation has led to the production of high-tech gaming streaming peripherals with features including haptic feedback, sophisticated motion tracking, and better sensory experience.

Gaming Accessories Market Restraints

Premium, Expensive Items

  • One of the major challenges for the gaming accessories market is the exorbitant price of high-end items. Though higher-end add-ons such as gaming mice, VR headsets, and mechanical keyboards provide extra features, their high cost prevents price-conscious consumers from purchasing them. In developing nations, where consumers do not have the extra money to purchase these add-ons, this hinders market growth.

Saturation of the Market

  • Particularly in regions like North America and Europe, where customers already have several gaming peripherals, the market is increasingly saturated. This discourages the expansion of the market and reduces the prospects of acquiring new clients. To compete in an industry that is becoming increasingly saturated, producers are focusing more and more on innovations and product individuality; however, as gamers buy required peripherals, development in general could come to a standstill.
