This presentation provides an overview of wearable electronics. It defines wearable electronics as computing devices that are worn on the body and interact with users. The presentation discusses the technologies used in wearables and describes favorable materials as lightweight, flexible, and conductive. It outlines the main types of wearables as health technologies, textile technologies, and consumer electronics. Examples of applications are given in areas like public safety, business, research, tourism, and assisting those with impairments. In conclusion, the presentation discusses how wearables from companies like smart glasses may become more common as costs decrease and technologies mature.

3. INTODUCTION:
Wearable technology is an application enabled computing
device which accepts and processes inputs. This device is
generally a fashion accessory usually worn or attached to
the body. The device could work independently or be
tethered to a smartphone allowing some kind of
meaningful interaction with the user. The wearable
product could be on the body (like a smart patch), around
the body (like a wristwatch or a headband) or in the body
(like an identification sensor embedded under the skin or a
sensor attached to the heart monitoring cardiac
aberrations).

4. WHAT IS WEARABLE?
WEARABLE MAKES TECHNOLOGY PERVASIVE BY
INTERWEAVING IT ITNO DAILY LIFE
WEARABLE TECH BEGINS TO CLOSE THE SEPERATION GAP AS WE MAKE THE
TECH MUCH MORE INTEGRATED WITH US RATHER THAN APART FROM US.
WHILE SOME PEOPLE WEAR ELECTRONICS TO HELP THEM PERCEIVE
THEIR SURROUNDING MORE DEEPLY, OTHERS WEAR THESE TO KEEP
TRACK OF CALORIES, DISTANCES WALKED , HEART CONDITIONS AND
OTHER PARAMETERS
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE WEARABLES ARE NOT
NEW…….LIKE ALL TECH, IT ITSELF HAS BEEN ON A JOURNEY.
AND THE ROAD HAS BEEN LONG TO EVEN GET HERE!
WEARABLE ARE NEW HOWEVER TO THE CONSUMERS SPACE

5.  Wearable electronics are electronic devices constantly worn by a person as un
obstructively as clothing to provide intelligent assistance that augments memory,
intellect, creativity, communication and physical senses.
 Wearable electronics can be worn in 2 ways:
Internally as implantable devices such as pacemakers and neuroprosthetics.
Externally in the form of a ring, a badge, a wristwatch, eyeglasses, jewellery,
shoes or clothing.

6. Wearable Electronics and the Technologies They Use

7. FAVORABLE INGREDIENT FOR WEARABLE
ELECTRONICS
The favorable ingredients for wearable electronics are:
 lightweight
 flexible and
 conductive materials: Conductive materials in fibrous form such as yarns
and fabrics are preferred candidates for wearable electronics by serving as
interconnects, functional devices and sensors. Most of the commercially
available conductive yarns comprise a blend of non-conductive polymers
with conductive particles such as carbon black, metallic particles, blends of
polymeric fibres and continuous stainless steel fibres, stainless steel spun
fibres and metal-clad aramid fibres.

9. TYPES OF WEARABLE ELECRONICS:
ELECTRONICS
 WEARABLE HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES
 WEARABLE TEXTILE TECHNOLOGIES
 WEARABLE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGIES

10. WEARABLE HEALTH TECHNOLOGY
 The most important contributions of wearable technology in health sector is
enabling the continuous monitoring of a patient health status and gathering real
word information about the patient. Thus, the doctors may monitor the heart rate,
blood pressure fever and other health indicator un iquitously and time
independently while the patient performing their daily routine activity.
 Wearable technologies can be used for diagnosis and treatment of several diseases.
 It is used for teleheath, teleheathcare, telemedicine, telecare, telehomecare, e
heath, p heath, m health, assistive technologies or gerontechnologies.

11. WEARABLE TEXTILE TECHNOLOGIES
 Integrating the technologies into textile products is a recent concepts which
enables the development of wearable electrotextile for sensing/monitoring body
functions, delivering communication facalities, data transfer, control of
environment.
 Especially the emergence of nanofibre and nanocoating provides an unusual
characteristics and lead breakthrough changes in the textile industries.
 One of the most significant application is the clothes which can change their
colours on demand or based on the biological indicators of the wearer.

12. WEARABLE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
 Consumer electronics are more often used in entertainment, communication and
office productivity.
 Major consumer electronic products are TVs, mobile phones, cameras, camcoders
music and video players.
 It can be defined as the electronic devices that are worn on the user’s body to
catalyze the daily activities.
 There are several types of wearable electronics such as wrist bands, headbands,
rings, etc. The most important promising properties are smart glasses and watches.

13. Wearable Electronics Product Types
Varying from rigid computing devices to flexible
electronic fabrics, many different types of products
have jumped into the market. Various fields spanning
this market size include:
 Military
 Healthcare
 Academic
 Agriculture
 Entertainment
 Consumer
 Finance
 Athletics
 Retail

14. Applications of wearable technologies can be
categorized based on the area of utilization
1. The Public and Personal Safety
2. Business
3. Research
4. Tourism
5. People with impairments

15. The Public and Personal Safety
In contrast with the position that wearable technology will give
harm to security, the wearable devices will provide the safety of
the society.
Bio-censors will be integrated into the wearable devices, and
these censors will monitor the brain activities.
These devices may be compulsory for the current and/or
potential criminals. When they intend to commit a crime these
sensors will directly warn the authorities.
The camera of the smart glasses, can navigate the direction,
monitor the traffic, and warn the driver if his /her eyes are
closing.
This system can also be compulsory for coach and truck drivers.

16. Research
 Wearable technologies provides several opportunities for companies in the context
of market research.
 Researchers use some eye-tracking techniques in the laboratory experiments.
 Even they can use crowd sourcing to gather data that some volunteers or paid
people can install the necessary application on their smart glasses.
 The researchers get very valuable data via wearable technologies.

17. People with impairments
 One of the biggest impact of wearable technologies will be for the people with
impairments.
 Smart Glasses can navigate for the blind people both indoor and outdoor. In
addition, with the face recognition function they can know whom they meet.
 Namely, wearable devices can be acting as the eyes of the blind people and the ear
of the deaf people.
 A paid person or a volunteer can connect to the blind person’s smart glass and
help the wearer when he / she must stop, navigate the road, and keep him / her
safe.

18. CONCLUSION
 Nowadays, most of the influential electronic companies have focused on wearable
technologies.
 Some of them have launched the initial versions of their wearable products, while
others are in the prototype development stages.
 In the future, probably the most powerful and commonly held wearable product
will be the integration of smart glass and augmented reality.
 When these products are developed and their prices are decreased, these products
will reach the maturity stage and social acceptance of these devices will
accelerate.
