From the sweat sensor that can detect gout to a device and tracks what you eat, soon there will be a wearable technology for measuring and tracking almost anything anyone can think of.
Despite global headwinds across the tech market, wearables have maintained strong interest from customers, particularly among first-time buyers. During the pandemic, people have become more attentive than ever regarding their well-being, which ultimately leads many buying a smartwatch or a fitness tracker. There is strong popularity of health- and fitness-tracking capabilities among customers.
The electronics industry always remains in instability as ongoing innovation stimulates market trends. The most trending features, for example, heart rate monitoring, are now shared across all wrist-worn devices, and that more superior features, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, are twisted down the cost curve. Fierce Electronics recently reported about a new, cuffless blood pressure sensor under development by the startup Blumio. It is intended to be integrated into a wearable device. The sensor has the ability to transform the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.
The significant companies aspire to surpass one another in their offerings around health and wellness in terms of the sensors on their wearables, which track various metrics such as blood oxygen levels, heart rate, respiratory rates, and more. Customers get insight into their personal data. Health and fitness tracking features have constantly ranked as the most significant reason people decide to buy smartwatches. For that reason, it can be anticipated that this trend continues in the future.
Whereas the lines between daily wearable devices and sophisticated healthcare-specific devices may seem to be increasingly unclear, it appears that these wearable devices in the consumer market should not be considered suitable for genuine medical purposes. Though they can offer a good overview of health, the users still should not rely entirely on them for any kind of accurate diagnosis.
Another major trend is connected wearables, such as smartwatches, connecting to a cellular network without any requirement for a smart phone. It is to be noted that emerging devices aim to keep people connected to their loved ones by giving way for someone to observe a family member's location and wellbeing and to get in touch if wanted.
Data is one more area where companies are expanding their game. There are various platforms which are providing aggregated measures of wellbeing as per the feedback from numerous sensors. For example, Fitbit's stress score works by a new sensor to calculate electrodermal activity together with existing metrics like time spent exercising and heart rate in recent times.
The record of innovative and advanced wearables goes on and on, including sleeping masks that promise to provide a more restful night, necklaces that can monitor air pollution. Wearables have aroused the interest of consumers all across the globe.
