2.1 Types of Wearable Devices

3.0 Medical - Wearable Devices Wearable Belts Sensor Insoles Smart Clothing Headsets Patches Respiratory Biofeedback and Body Sensor

Networks Sensors in Sheets

3.1 Medical: Wearable Belt Type of Device

Wearable surveillance system; Wearable BeltMonitor variations of posture, falls, and gait disability

Technology Behind Device Communication Module: Wireless LAN card; Connects to Users Home

Network Storage Module : 256MB Memory Card Analysis Module Sensor Module

Pros v Cons Pro: Monitors Daily Activities and Change in Activities for notifications Con: Its removable, discomfort while sleeping

3.2 Medical: Sensor Insole Type of Device

Moticon’s OpenGoMeasures Weightbearing, Balance, Temperature, Accelerationhttp://www.moticon.de/en/system/sensor-insole#sensorsohle-anwendung

Technology Behind Device Firmware is fitted in the insole and communicates with PC software via

USB radio stick

Pros v Cons Pro: Freedom of Movement, Daily Wear, Comfortable, Improve

Performance, Monitor Rehabilitation Con: Nothing reported.

4.0 Wellness - Wearable Devices

Fitbit FORCE™ WIRELESS ACTIVITY AND SLEEP WRISTBAND Physical Activity and Sleep Monitoringhttp://www.fitbit.com/force

Technology Behind Device

Wireless BlueTooth 4.0 to synch to computer, iPhone, and/or Android Smartphones

Pros v Cons Pros: See Real Time Progress

Daily Stats on Wrist and Watch progress over time with charts and graphs Set Daily Goals, Earn Badges, Challenge Friends

Cons: Wristband hard to clasp Rashes have been reported Metrics not accurate

5.0 Security – Wearable Devices

Watches Bracelets Rings

5.1 Security – Watch Password (Blink)

Type of Device Wearable as password replacement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAURSZwIVcU&list=HL1386264928 (2min) Tracking device for Child/Pet Protection

Technology Behind Device Using NFC & Bluetooth to ‘lock’ mobile device once user leaves proximity Algorithm to identify each and its associated ACL of programs

Pros v Cons Pro: Knowing where your child is Con: Device loss, technical support

5.2 Security – Heartbeat Bracelet (Nymi)

Type of Device Wearable as password replacement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUO7Qnmc8vE#t=19 Seamless Authentication to Devices, cars, Hotel Rooms, etc.

Technology Behind Device Using NFC & Bluetooth to ‘lock’ and unlock any device paired Taking your heart's unique rhythm and creating a secure ID for you from it

Pros v Cons Pro: True Biometric, cannot be copied, and useless if lost Con: True Biometric, must put your heart rhythm on record

6.0 Accessories – Wearable Devices

Smart Watches - Accessories Glasses - Accessories Umbrella

6.1 Smart Watches

Type of Device Smart watches

Sony SmartWatch, Apple iWatch, Galaxy Gear … (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3qeJKax2CU) and more to come

Technology Behind Device Smart phone technology Uses NFC, Bluetooth, and RF technology for communication

Pros v Cons Pro: More integration, gateway to Internet of Things (IOT) Con: Distraction on the road, battery life, smaller screens

6.2 Google Glass Google glass is termed as a wearable computer, developed by Google X Lab. Display information in a smart phone-like hands –free format , that can interact with

the internet via natural voice command.Technology Used Eye tap technologies. Android technology with 4G Google Glass provide an experience known as

augmented reality, where images are superimposed over what the user see in real life.

Pros vs ConsPros: Glasses for driving, No need to take your eyes off the road.Cons: Unusual devices aren't airport-friendly.

‘Nerdy’ look/ social stigma

6.3 AIR UMBRELLA The Air UmbrellaThe concept removes the plastic top from the umbrella and replaces it with a wind shield. The design of the Air Umbrella calls for air to be sucked through the bottom, then shot out of the top in a pattern that mimics the standard canopy. 

6.3.1 AIR UMBRELLA

7.0 Futuristic Concepts

8.0 Research Areas

Acute illness with medical wearable devices Pill tells doctors when it's been swallowed Edible micro-battery, that could power ingestible

medical devices Wearable devices’ authentication How to handle unsecure networks and hostile

environments

9.0 Discussion

Will this decrease patient time in clinical settings? Will there be lower re-admittance rates to Emergency

Departments? Will it improve overall fitness, nutrition, and wellness? Will it increase security? Will driver/motorcyclist be safer? Will these devices bring us closer to the Singularity?

Where are Wearable Devices on the Technology Life Cycle Stacks?

Kendall’s Technology Life Cycle

1. Invention2. Emergence (come forth from

obscurity, not reached full potential)

3. Acceptance (established)4. Sublime (fully appreciated)5. Surplus

Kurzweil’s Technology Life Cycle

1. Precursor (dream or contemplation)

2. Invention3. Development (emergence)4. Maturity (established)5. Pretenders (threat by upstart)6. Obsolescence (by new

technology)7. Antiquity

Summary

Wearable devices are soon to be part of our day to day life Wearable gadget are geared toward an easier transition to the

Internet of Things (IOT) notion Medical, Fitness, Security, and Communication are currently the

main domain of where wearable devices used. Although essential role wearable devices shall play, but it has its

own set of disadvantages such as distraction to drivers, the higher likability be lost/stolen.
