Wearable technology devices can be worn by consumers and track health and fitness information. The field began in 1981 when Steve Mann invented a wearable multimedia computer. Wearables are important because they are compact, smart, efficient, and allow ubiquitous connectivity. Successful design requires a human-centered approach and consistency of integrated data. Wearables have many uses like healthcare monitoring, improving diagnoses, and reducing costs. Examples include smart glasses, fitness trackers, and devices that can be worn on the wrist, head, or fingers to track activity and notifications.

2. WHAT IS WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY ?
• Wearable technology (also called wearable gadgets) is
a category of technology devices that can be worn by a
consumer and often include tracking information
related to health and fitness. Other wearable
tech gadgets include devices that have small motion
sensors to take photos and sync with your mobile
devices

3. The Man behind wearable tech
• Took off in 1981 when Steve Mann invented the
6502-based Multimedia computer that could be
worn as a backpack and had photo, video text
capabilities

4. IMPORTANCE OF WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY
•Wearables are
compact
•Smart
•High
operational
efficiencies
•Ubiquitous
connectivity

6. DESIGN ELEMENTS OF WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY
HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN
This practice is critical to the success of wearable devices—
design thinking must be embedded in disruptive strategy and
innovation, with a focus on optimizing the customer
experience.
CONSISTENCY OF DATA
The data from the wearable experience will need to be integrated more
broadly in an interoperable ecosystem, rather than acting standalone.

7. USES OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
HEALTH CARE
• Measures parameters like heart rate,
body temperature etc
•Improves medical diagnosis
•Health care costs reduced

8. APPLICATIONS

10. WEARABLE GADGETS
GOOGLE GLASS
Google Glass is Google's wearable computer that a person wears like a
regular pair of prescription glasses. Google Glass is best described as
an evolution of the smart phone — a way to freely access data
without needing to look at a handheld device.
