Safety is an essential concern for the future of wearables
by Anura Fernando, betanews.com, 13May 2015
Wearables, from smart wristbands to smart clothing, hold vast potential to enhance everyday life, from a person’s health to workplace productivity.
Their potential is vast as demonstrated by predictions of the market growth for wearables, anticipated to exceed more than $100 billion (£64 billion) in annual sales by 2018, according to Generator Research. The recently launched Apple Watch only adds momentum to this promising new technology category.
Wearables are supported by three core technologies -- sensors, processing and communications. These technologies enable manufacturers to design and make compact products, such as devices that combine a pedometer, heart rate monitor and GPS in one, that are comfortable to wear and offer advanced computing capabilities. Continued advances in these three areas will lead to even smaller and more capable products.
