Smart Wearables are electronic devices basically designed to be worn on a user's body. They can be in the form of jewelry, clothing, or medical devices. While most smart wearables are worn by users, there are some such as cell phones, smart tags, and computers that can be carried around to track user movements. A few incorporate the use of remote smart sensors or optical sensors for measuring various parameters. Wearable technology generates timely notifications and alerts to connected services and delivers accurate information in an easy-to-understand format. In order for them to function optimally, smart wearables are incorporated with sensors, microprocessors, batteries, and connectivity to the internet as well as other electronic devices such as mobile phones or laptops.
Apart from being used in smartwatches and fitness trackers, smart wearables are being deployed in multiple industries such as healthcare, navigation, military, consumer goods, sports, etc. The recent advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI in wearable technology may help unlock success in a wide variety of businesses.
