WEARABLES
- THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THEY’RE UGLY -
Image Source: CC0 from unsplash.com By: Olivia Charlebois
Wearables are types of devices that are categorized as
electronics/computers that are incorporated into items of
clothing or accessories which are comfortably worn on
the body. [1]
Most generally this includes but is not limited to smartwatches,
fitness bands and headsets.

{ THE GOOD … }

Wearables help
users stay motivated
to remain healthy
and keep
connected in the
home, at work and
in the hospital

Most smartwatches have
applications that allow users
to have a fully automated
home life. These apps can
control things from turning on
the porch lights before you
get home, or controlling the
thermostat from the office. [3]
These programs allow users to have a good grasp on their home’s
security and energy usage at all times in or out of the home.
Wearables can make everyday activities like paying for coffee,
signing in at work and checking in at the airport more
efficient and reduce the number of personal
belongings needed.

“At the very least we’ll say good-bye to key cards.”
- Samantha Cole,
when talking about the use of smartwatches in the workplace. [3]
Using wearables helps to move healthcare from
reactive to proactive
…
Currently there is an array available technologies that
can help proactively manage your health at home.
Most gadgets are specific monitoring systems like
fitness smartwatches and heartrate monitors. [2]

Wearables used in hospitals can help track
& analyze information about a person’s
health which can then be transferred to
a remote medical personnel. [4]
This would allow physicians to
remotely check in on patients,
providing an improved
doctor-patient relationship. [5]

{ THE BAD… }
Wearable can have a ‘bad’ influence by being another distraction:
“We have been seduced by distraction,”
-Psychologist Daniel Goleman
“We are being pulled away from paying attention to the
things that enrich our lives.”[6]
“We may be institutionalizing rudeness
with our gadgets...” - Leah Eichler [7]
When we give more
attention to our devices
we forfeit the attention we
should be giving to our
real-life relationships.
Being constantly tethered to
your devices can result in
disrupted, poor sleep habits,
and negatively influence
driving abilities.

“When was the last time you picked up a physical map?”
Consistent connectivity can
also have huge negative
effects on your general health.
Rarely going tech-free can
lead to long-term stress and
has potential risks like:
teeth-grinding,
diabetes,
heart disease and
depression. [6]
With the prevalence of
wearables increasing in
healthcare settings important
steps need to be taken to
protect patient’s personal
healthcare data from
criminal hackers. [8]
Image Source: CC0 from Wesley Wilson
Your personal health information is about
10 times more valuable
than a stolen credit card number on the
black market [9]
The bad news, cybersecurity and hacking threats are
becoming a real issue for businesses. Wearables can be
used to hack employee locations, sensitive corporate
information and be used to impersonate employees over
email. [11]
{ THEY’RE UGLY … }
Image Source: CC0 from Olivia Charlebois
Nobody’s wearing
wearables ...
Image Source: CC0 from unsplash.com
Wearables are thought to be too large, boxy and
unattractive and therefore aren’t yet considered a real
fashion trend.
Image Source: CC0 from snapwiresnaps.tumblr.com
“Fashion factories & technology factories are vastly
different enterprises,” and neither knows
how to make smart clothes.
- Liza Kindred, founder of Third Wave Fashion. [12]
Image Source: CC0 from unsplash.com
For wearables to become mainstream fashion many
consumers say the technology would need to be more
durable, washable & inexpensive. [12]
Image Source: CC0 from unsplash.com
Wearables are much more visible than a
smart phone which is often hidden in a bag or
pocket.
"A wearable might be something you could
use to express yourself… [and] It becomes
much more personal than just being in your
pocket”
Myriam Joire, product evangelist for
Pebble. [13]

Although wearables allow users to have
access to sophisticated technologies,
further upgrades are still needed to
increase personal security &
improve their aesthetic appeal.
