Bringing a whole new lifestyle and health experience to today’s connected citizen

The wearable market has advanced far beyond early basic smartwatches and pedometers to now cover a plethora of new, fashion-forward devices that are easy to use, fun, and stylish. Today’s smart and sports watches, fitness trackers, and healthcare wristbands may be small and unobtrusive, but they are big on functionality. Users have more exciting and novel ways to intuitively interact with wearable tech to support seamless communications, sports tracking and coaching, locational services in smart environments, health and wellbeing assessments, and even connected health for automated health services.

To support this increasingly rich functionality, wearables are gathering and processing ever-growing streams of personal, health-related, lifestyle and other data. Which places the spotlight more than ever on security, particularly as multi-application designs increasingly integrate functions such as payment, ticketing, access control, and wireless charging.

In addition to security, other key challenges facing today’s wearable designer include seamless connectivity, longer battery lifetimes, small form factors, ease of integration, and sensor accuracy.
