a presentation showing some of the basic uses of wearable technologies and also a few of their future uses as well, all packed into a neat and attractive presentation.
2. Introduction To Wearable Technology
‘Wearable Devices’ or ‘Wearables’ are clothing and
accessories incorporating computer and advanced
electronic technologies. The designs often incorporate
practical functions and features.
In simple words Wearables are the devices that can be
worn as accessories like watches, glasses, socks, etc.
5. FITNESS AND HEALTH CARE
The increasing adoption of wearable technology in monitoring fitness & healthcare
The fast evolving gadgets in Fitness, Wellness & Health care :
