Seamless Connectivity
Today’s hyperconnected consumer wants one thing above all else – convenience! In other words: easy, intuitive ways to tune into the entertaining and useful information they love and need – without switching between different devices or screens. The answer is surprisingly simple: wearables. They support a growing number of use cases, including payment, access, health and activity tracking, education, and gaming. Wearable tech delivers a curated flow of information in a digestible, easy-to-understand format, and can trigger customized notifications or send alerts to connected services.
Design key success factors
Today’s wearable design engineers face a number of challenges. In addition to an ultra-compact form factor, smart bands and watches must offer ease of use plus intuitive visualization. Other success factors include high-bandwidth connectivity, measurement accuracy, operational longevity, low power consumption, and stability. Since wearable and health tech devices record the user’s movements in changing environments, components must be designed for operational stability under different conditions, while always ensuring precise, robust measurement of pressure and motion. Also, wearables must embed hardened security so users don’t have to worry about personal or confidential data falling into the wrong hands.
