Wearable Technologies

Wearable technologies refer to electronic devices designed to be worn on the body to monitor, collect, and transmit data in real time. These devices include smartwatches, fitness trackers, health monitoring sensors, and smart textiles. Wearable technologies integrate sensors, flexible electronics, wireless communication, and energy-efficient power systems. In energy-related applications, wearables are used for worker safety monitoring, health diagnostics, environmental sensing, and human–machine interaction. Energy harvesting technologies such as piezoelectric and thermoelectric systems are increasingly incorporated to extend battery life. Wearable technologies support digital health, smart cities, and industrial safety while emphasizing low power consumption and reliable communication. Continued innovation in materials, energy storage, and connectivity is expanding their functionality and sustainability.
