Wearables have come a long way since the early days of step-counting devices. What began as health or fitness tracking gadgets have now turned into Wearables 3.0, the next-gen smart wearables that advance the measurement of fitness levels, making its way to healthcare, wellness, and lifestyle management.
The Journey of Wearables
- Wearables 1.0: Concentrated on step tracking, calories burned and basic fitness statistics.
- Wearables 2.0: First wearable devices to incorporate heart rate, sleep tracking, and tie-ins to mobile apps.
- Wearables 3.0: This next generation is all about healthcare, personal insight and lifestyle changes – and it’s starting to get very fuzzy where life ends and tech begins.
Wearables in Healthcare
Wearables 3.0 is all about health. Such devices have become capable of:
- On-Going Body Checks: Smartwatches can monitor your heart rhythm, give warning of irregular heart rhythms, and possibly warn of pending heart disease.
- Monitoring glucose: Researches are working on non-invasive sensors for measuring glucose in the blood, targeting diabetic patients.
- Stress & Mental Health Support: Wearable monitors stress level and breathing when practicing mindfulness.
- Remote Patient Care: Doctors can have access to live patient data, improving the efficacy of telemedicine.
Lifestyle Enhancements Beyond Fitness
How wearables are more than just health trackers: They’re altering how we live:
- Smart Garments: Smart materials integrated with sensors monitoring balance, movement and temperature.
- Fashion Meets Tech: Designers devices that looks good even if it’s only function is to function.
- Productivity Tools: Smart rings and glasses for the notification sic pinged, focused time counted, and office-efficiency-clocked-in-on.
- Safety functions: GPS Tracking, Fall detection and SOS emergency call service, more beneficial to kids and the aged.
The Future of Wearables 3.0
With AI, machine learning and IoT growing, wearables will:
- Be more predictive, not simply reactive.
- Prove customized health suggestions instead of just raw information.
- Connect effortlessly with smart homes, vehicles and workplaces.
- Trend toward the invisible wearable, such as skin patches and implants, that operate without being felt.
