Wearable technology is any technology that is designed to be used while worn.Common types of wearable technology include smartwatches 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 and which allow in some cases immediate biofeedback to the wearer.
health care monitoring systems; service management; electronic textiles and fashion design, e.g. Microsoft's 2011 prototype "The Printing Dress". [8] Wearable computing is the subject of active research, especially the form-factor and location on the body, with areas of study including user interface design, augmented reality, and pattern ...
A smart wearable system (SWS) is an end-to-end integrated and connected system that has the following features: one or more sensors and actuators nodes at the end-user side and possibly integrated into worn items
The development of WBAN technology started around 1995 around the idea of using wireless personal area network (WPAN) technologies to implement communications on, near, and around the human body. About six years later, the term "BAN" came to refer to systems where communication is entirely within, on, and in the immediate proximity of a human body.
