Wearables: Technology at the Edge of Your Body Wearables are small computing devices you wear on your body. They gather data about your movements, heart rate, sleep, and even your environment. By staying at the edge of your body, they can collect signals quickly and share insights with your phone or cloud. Common examples include smartwatches, fitness bands, chest straps, medical patches, and smart clothing with embedded sensors. These devices use light sensors, tiny chips, and wireless radios to stay connected during the day. ...

Wearables and the Next Wave of Connected Devices Wearables are no longer just fitness gadgets. Today they blend into daily life, gathering data from skin, breath, and movement. They serve personal health, safety, and convenience, and they do it with less friction than before. The next wave is about seamless integration, longer battery life, and smarter data sharing. Sensors are smaller, more capable, and work in harmony. A wrist device might read heart rate, skin temperature, and step patterns, while a shirt patch tracks hydration and chemical signals. Edge processing lets devices analyze information on the spot, sending only key insights rather than raw data. This approach helps protect privacy and extend battery life. ...
