Wearable technology is any technology that is designed to be used while worn. Common types of wearable technology include smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smartglasses. Wearable electronic devices are often close to or on the surface of the skin, where they detect, analyze, and transmit information such as vital signs, and/or ambient data ...
The E-agriculture in Action series of publications, by FAO-ITU, that provides guidance on emerging technologies and how it could be used to address some of the challenges in agriculture through documenting case studies. E-agriculture in Action: Big Data for Agriculture [22] E-agriculture in Action: Blockchain for Agriculture [23]
one or more sensors and actuators nodes at the end-user side and possibly integrated into worn items; nodes connectivity to local and/or remote processor; processor that classifies events and, when actuators are available, takes corrective action; Sensor nodes can monitor a.o. body location, motion & posture, body vital signs and local context.

Precision livestock farming (PLF) is a set of electronic tools and methods used for the management of livestock.PLF involves automated monitoring of animals to improve their production, reproduction, health, welfare, and impact on the environment.
Agricultural technology or agrotechnology (abbreviated agtech, agritech, AgriTech, or agrotech) is the use of technology in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture with the aim of improving yield, efficiency, and profitability. Agricultural technology can be products, services or applications derived from agriculture that improve various ...
Emerging digital technologies have the potential to be game-changers for traditional agricultural practices. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has referred to this change as a revolution: "a 'digital agricultural revolution' will be the newest shift which could help ensure agriculture meets the needs of the global population into the future."
Precision agriculture (PA) is a management strategy that gathers, processes and analyzes temporal, spatial and individual plant and animal data and combines it with other information to support management decisions according to estimated variability for improved resource use efficiency, productivity, quality, profitability and sustainability of ...
A cardiac balloon catheter with temperature sensors, electrocardiography sensors, and LEDs is a surgical bio-MEMS. Bio-MEMS for surgical applications can improve existing functionality, add new capabilities for surgeons to develop new techniques and procedures, and improve surgical outcomes by lowering risk and providing real-time feedback ...
