Mobile has become the most prized possession with the evolution of smart apps, user-friendly interface, customer service and many more features. Wearable medical devices have recently gained traction as these come inbuilt into the fitness apps and related healthcare equipment.
Wearable apps manage the wearable devices and gear series to the phone device. Users can control their television, appliances, air-conditioners, bulbs, microwave-oven range, air-purifier, cooktop, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, wine cellar, washer, dryer, speakers with wearable devices, Prosthetics, orthopedic Implants, surgical instruments, smartwatches, fitness bands, sleep tracker, heart rate monitor, smart watch, a smart jacket and fitness trackers etc.
Popular Wearable App examples include (in no particular order):
- Fit pro
- Wear OS by Google Smartwatch (was Android Wear)
- Fitbit
- MI Fit
- SFRush
- Fossil Hybrid Smart Watches
- Huawei Health
- Honor Smart Watches
- RS Motive
- Fastrack Reflex
- LG Health
- Lenovo Life
- YFit
- Color Band A1
- Urban Fit
- WearFit2.0
- Huawei Wear
- CT Fit
- YouBand Pro
How Wearable App Technology Can Be Helpful?
Users can remotely control and check the status of their connected devices with wearable tech apps. Such an app normally functions with a Wi-Fi connection or with the mobile data network. Multiple devices can be grouped into a mode and are then simultaneously operable.
What Are The Key Features Of Wearable Tech?
- Wearable Widgets: Sometimes smartwatches need to make use of wearable widgets to create a bridge between your smartphone and smartwatch. This way the users do not have to wait for developer permission to support their watch. They can wear their smartwatch in the format already set by the developers for compact use.
- Time Configuration: For them to function better, the time and operating condition settings on devices should be configured.
- Optimization: These wearable technology apps are optimized for smartphones.
Emerging Wearable Technology Trends 2021
Fitness trackers are simply one of the many types of wearable devices alongside smartwatches, smart clothing, and smart glasses. Wearable technology trends that will enable this further include:
Exoskeleton Wearable Technology – These are a type of robotic – AI-enabled tracksuits that will help humans perform better. These are gradually becoming the norm in industries globally. These make some sci-fi things real – making you hung up in mid-air – hold heavy tools into your powered exosuits – exos for back support and more. Ergoskeletons closely resemble exos – these are made in aluminum or plastic, making the suit lightweight, easy to put on and take off and avoid workplace injuries.
Prosthetics – Prosthetics once gave an impression of having some sort of physical disability but this fine line in-between wearable technology and prosthetics is soon going to disappear with major advancements coming up in 2021. Prosthetics include hearing aid, artificial limbs that support the physically challenged. These respond directly to the nervous system, combine brain signals, and follow commands as desired. As might be expected these won’t make you super-human but will enable you to fight off your age-related or genetic disability.
3D Printing/Bio Tissue/Human Tissue – 3D printing technology can help manufacture shoe soles that can help estimate diabetics’ sensory perception. 3D printing will help reduce transportation costs as these urge both medical companies and devices to be environmentally conscious. 3D prints are gradually being used in hospitals, pharmacy and biotech companies, and academic institutes, medical and surgical centres. Noteworthy features that propel 3D printed wearable devices include the rise in demand for wearable medical devices, increasing investment in the research and development of such medical equipment and rising incidences of cardiac disease.
Securing Data – Wearables bring in a lot of loads to handle on part of users. A couple of security technologies like cryptographic functions, data protection, encryption and authentication make the device safer to use and difficult on the part of cybercriminals to crack it.
AI for Human Brain – So far the scientists have been trying to emulate the synaptic connections between the cerebral cortex – vertebra – neurons. Implementing artificial intelligence in the imitation of the human brain has been a major area of research. But is AI capable of imitating five cognitive functions of the brain – the sensory – the taste – the touch – the hearing – the sight? This technology trend in wearable will be explored further in 2021.
Conclusive: Which wearable technology trends will acquire the center-stage in 2021?
The increasing usage of wearable app technologies – connected devices – Internet of things such as Bluetooth, myoelectric technology, microprocessor controller has resulted in the growing demand for portable internet devices. This can be combined proportionally by the developments in material sciences like using carbon fibre materials, thermoplastics in developing robotic amputation devices, all this and more helps to reduce the overall cost and increase the efficiency of devices.
