“…This is agreed with by Chan et al (2012), who believe 'telehealth care' to be a good way of cutting equipment and labour costs, and backed by estimates from Global Data Hub (2013b) who expect the medical WT market to triple by 2016 with 100 million devices sold, up from $2 billion worth of devices in 2011.…”

“…However they have never been used extensively in any country as they are held back by the lack of high-speed networks and the limited number of injuries or illnesses that they can monitor (Chan et al, 2012). As a result, Chan et al believe that going forward there is a need for products that integrate a range of biosensors to monitor a plethora of medical issues, and that are capable of intelligent processing (ibid) to automatically detect anomalies in the more complex data collected.…”

This research aims to quantify the current market size for wearable technology, and determine why this market has struggled over the past decade. These are products which are worn on the body and enhanced using electronics. Forecasts have been made as to how this wearable technology is likely to develop in terms of market size and product design or function. It is predicted that in five years the wearable technology market will be several times larger than it is currently, and entertainment devices will overtake fitness to become the largest product category. Medical devices will be used to reduce healthcare costs by monitoring patients within their own home and wearable technology will allow businesses to improve customer relations and productivity.

Abstract. In this paper, we present SPW-1; a low-profile versatile wearable activity tracker that employs two ultra-low-power accelerometers and relies on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless communication. Aiming for a low maintenance system, SPW-1 is able to offer a battery lifetime of multiple months. Measurements on its wireless performance in a real residential environment with thick brick walls, demonstrate that SPW-1 can fully cover a room and -in most cases -the adjacent room, as well. SPW-1 is a research platform that is aimed to be used both as a data collecting tool for health-oriented studies outside the laboratory, but also for research on wearable technologies and body-centric communications. As a result, SPW-1 incorporates versatile features, such as external sensor support, various powering options, and accelerometer configuration options that can support a wide range applications from kinematics to long-term activity recognition.

“…The quest for physical well-being is addressed under smart cities by the use of indicators from personal devices such as smartwatches, sport monitors or smart bands which among other things can monitor some health parameters such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels and sport activities. Research in the body response to environment parameters is also potentiated by these personal devices that act as personal sensors (Chan, Estève, Fourniols, Escriba, & Campo, 2012). Their use to calculate more intrusive parameter such heat balance index for each individual helps perceive whether it is cold or warm in different situations.…”
