Wearable Technology

Wearable technology or wearables are smart electronic devices (electronic device with micro-controllers) that are worn close to and/or on the surface of the skin, where they detect, analyze, and transmit information concerning e.g. body signals such as vital signs, and/or ambient data and which allow in some cases immediate biofeedback to the wearer. Wearables are designed for accessibility and convenience, as well as improvements to workplaces by making information quickly and readily available to the wearer.
