Many trends are today reshaping the wearable technology environment. The integration of fashion and technology is a notable trend.
In the market for wearable technology, health and wellness remains dominant. As personal health becomes more of an emphasis for consumers, they are looking to wearables that do things beyond simple fitness tracking. These days, many devices include advanced health monitoring functions such as measurement of blood oxygen levels, ECG monitoring and stress tracking. Implementing these wellness-focused functions is a manifestation of the dominant trend in society--active health care. Wearables are becoming essential instruments for tracking and enhancing overall physical condition.
Innovations in materials and form factors also influence market trends. Traditional wrist-worn devices--bright clothes, smart glasses and creative jewelry are breaking the mold of wearable technology. Flexible displays, lighter materials and waterproof designs are now standard features on wearables. Users experience increased comfort as well as greater durability. These various forms of factorization enables consumers to pick wearable devices that best suit their tastes and lifestyles, which further helps with the overall acceptance by consumers.
Another major trend is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in wearables. Wearable devices are using AI to gain capabilities and provide more personalized, context-aware experiences. Fitness recommendations by AI, or personal assistant intelligent agents which learn user habits Artificial intelligence is bringing wearables smarter and more intuitive. This trend is consistent with the broader market movement aimed at providing uniform intelligent and integrated user experiences across a variety of devices.
Wearable technologiesOne emerging trend in this market is the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Smart glasses include AR applications such as navigation and real-time information overlay, while fitness/gaming wearables have found a place for VR. The immersive and interactive experiences bring a new depth to wearables, while providing potential for novel uses of the technology in education, training or entertainment.
As remote work and telemedicine have skyrocketed, wearables that monitor your health from afar are becoming increasingly popular. Wearable devices equipped with remote patient monitoring capabilities allow for real-time data collection, enabling healthcare providers to intervene more quickly and precisely. This will continue as telehealth takes its place in the delivery of medicine.
