Abstract

Technology has brought a lot of changes to mankind which made even the complicated things easier. With the advancement of science and technology, machines have become intelligent and are widely used. Development has been made in various fields including healthcare, medicines and public-health. Recent advances in healthcare provides an efficient, cost-effective and intelligent way of monitoring health and other activities. Wearables play an important role in making this possible. Though these devices look small in structure but possess powerful medical sensors that helps in monitoring person’s health conditions. With the evolution of medical science and technology, the wearables have been incorporated with multiple different sensors so that they can keep track of a wide range of activities like—cardiovascular disease, blood oxygen level, body temperature measurement and activity monitoring system including many others. These devices can be connected to smart phones and also lets people to save the results for future reference. In this study, the need for using wearables in healthcare and how it can change the future of medical systems have been discussed. A case study on how wearables can help patients as well as doctors is presented. This paper also includes research challenges and future scope.
