Wearable
technology
currently
resides in an
early adopter
phase

Wearable
devices, as the
name suggests,
are devices that
can be worn on
a person that
have the
capability to
connect and
communicate
to the network
either directly
through
embedded
cellular
connectivity or
through another
device

In a similar
vein, some
researchers and
consumers are
now asking
whether
wearable
computers will
be considered
harmful in
several
decades time.
The growing
use of wearable
technology has
made people
more
accountable for
their personal
health and
fitness with
devices that
count calories,
track workouts
and record the
users heart
rate.

Children
should limit
how much
time they
spend talking
on a
cellphone,
doctors say

In fact, 71% of
Americans claim
that wearable
technology has
improved their
health overall.

Smart

The
acceptability of

gathered
through the use
of these smart

Wearable

The devices
also give their

information.

Journal Article

By using onbody sensors in

large groups of
people in

settings, we
have been able
to identify,
measure, and
quantify social
interactions,
group behavior,
and
organizational
dynamics

The HBC

capacitive
coupling type is
developed
based on the
near electric
field around the
human body,
induced by a
transmitter
terminal to
detect the weak
coupling
changes of the
electric field
along the body.
We propose the
use of wearable
electronic
badges capable
of measuring
the amount of
face-to-face
interaction,
conversational
time, physical
proximity to
other people,
and physical
activity levels
in order to
capture
individual and
collective
patterns of
behavior.

In this context,
it is envisioned
that wearable
human assistive
technologies
will play an
important role
in managing,
monitoring, and
ensuring the
safety of
humans during
