Dear Readers,

With the technological upheaval brought along by the “Internet Of Things” or “IoT” as it’s popularly known as, the difference between virtual and physical worlds has started to shrink already. Tech world is about to witness a massive turnaround and that includes wearable devices as a spearhead solution. Notable few technologies that are driving tremendous interest these days are mobile healthcare, drones, 3D printing, autonomous cars, so on and so forth. With the focus being shifted to the buzzword IOT, there is nothing we shall consider imaginary for eternity.

How IoT Is Taking The World By Storm?

IoT has completely revolutionized the way we look at things. By making them smart it has added value to and infused a new ray to the concept of connected devices. Wearables are the next big thing and wearable technology sure is carving a niche for itself in the tech consumer segment!

Companies are investing heavily to bring the best of wearable technologies to their consumers. Weather its personal & home security, medical & fitness needs, smartwatches, sportswear, organizations are doing everything in their capacities to bring the best of wearable technologies to the market. What’s interesting is the fact that not just the start-ups, even the existing/big market players jumped in the fray to be part of the rat race of the highly popular wearable technologies. Let us delve further and read about the most popular wearable technologies in the year 2016.

These include :

1. Fitness Tracker

Fitness trackers are a hit with the masses already but their popularity is set to soar in the times to come. This year around fitness trackers are focusing on adding advanced sensors fit to monitor blood pressure and stress levels apart from detecting heart beats. The mundane looking fitness trackers are also gearing for a fashionable makeover. The war in this space is sure to intensify!

2. Smartwatches

Smartwatches come with different features including two-way calling, alerts, geo-fencing, land marking etc. The best part is that these incredible tech devices are available for different age groups. These GPS based wearable devices are idle for child and elderly tracking. They are one of the most popular wearable gadgets available in the market today.

3. Automation solutions

Home, office, industry and so on- they can all be managed even from a remote location. Feels like a sequence from a sci-fi movie,right? But it is gradually turning into reality wherein you can control all your important functions even if you’re not present physically at the premises.

4. Connected Clothing

Connected clothing! Yes, you heard that right. Smart or connected clothing is making waves in the world of sports. The embedded sensors in connected clothing like smart shirts helps monitor and track various parameters of athletes and players. The vital information collected helps understand their performance better and also pave way for taking informed future decisions. This can completely change how we can take care of ourselves and our loved ones.

5. Virtual Reality (VR)

VR promises a never before experience to its users. It transports you to a whole new world and the good news is that VR trends are picking up this year around. Movies, games, music, sports, art and more just got better with this tech connection!

Hail the IoT technology , we might be heading towards a world reduced in time and distance so much that we could get all information just by a few finger taps and clicks!

Dear Readers,

Over the years, taking care of elder members in the family has become a matter of prime concern in the lives of urban families. More so because of the struggle we put up each day to take off time for family and self. With the advent of the unprecedented technology called the Internet of things over the past couple of years, improved quality of life for the aged and elderly is evidently possible. With the family of wearables like smart watches, fitness bands, etc. introduced to the world, taking care of your loved ones has never been easier.

It is a universal fact that senior most members in the family often find themselves ruled out of social gatherings, largely because of some good old ailment. Incorporating a gamut of IoT-enabled systems, the elderly will be able to stay independent for longer durations and happily participate in and contribute to the activities in and around the house. Simply put, going by the examples, the elderly would simply be empowered to perform routine and easy tasks like keeping a tab on their weight or blood pressure, and mapping time and again their heart rate and respiration, only by the continuous usage of a wearable device operating on the fundamentals of IoT.

A number of recent discoveries in the healthcare sector, are readying us inadvertently, for a new technological dawn, a whole new exciting revolution in patient monitoring and care across the globe. As more and more devices are getting connected over the internet and to each other, present tools for traditional applications and data management would probably be inadequate to meet the unaltered and precise analysis required for the massive, ever-expanding and complex data sets known as Big Data. Challenges in the conventional applications include data capture, data curation, search, storage, sharing, analysis, transfer, querying, visualization and information privacy. With IoT-enabled wearables not only consumers like us would reap gains, but also healthcare professionals would benefit over the ease of maintaining the history of patients they are handling. In all considerations, it is a way forward – to make elderly care easy and a few clicks away.

There’s no arguing that investments in data and analytical tools, the network and cloud computing infrastructure will drastically enhance the quality and efficiency of India’s healthcare industry.But having said that, IoT will also result in reducing the long-term cost of healthcare on the whole, making it more end-user friendly. Here’s how!

Putting forth in a nutshell, the IoT-enabled smart wearables is expected to have a profound impact on healthcare in India with improved access to quality care and possible cut down in the cost-of-care. Additionally, it might have major substantial impacts on the health economy in the near future with the service going as easy on you as a finger-tap.

Dear Readers,

Wearables and the IOT are an invigorating mix of internet enablement and cutting-edge technologies. They seamlessly blend to create a vast avenue of opportunities that can serve a remarkable range of human needs. It also has the potential to give us all resources that are best suited in ambient computing to make business and government operations practically chaos-free.

So what really are these things we fondly address as “wearables” and what’s with the term “IoT”.

Wearables are basically electronic computers or sensors you can put on and that connects to your smart phones wirelessly or connects directly over the internet. The generation one wearables focussed majorly on lifestyle activities like staying fit and active or monitoring weight and pulse. The list goes far beyond usually seen heart rate monitors, internet-enabled fitness bands or clip-ons. The term Internet of Things, or IoT, as is often referred to as, comprises machine-to-machine, human-to-machine and machine-to-human sensors connected over the cloud or internet, the IOT can be utilized in connected cars, connected homes, connected offices, connected businesses, smart cities, smart industries and the environment to capture valuable data from all these sources. IOT objects can simply function without human-to-human or human-to-computer involvement, that expands their scope of workability.

Consider the Internet of Things and wearables as a nest of concentric circles. The circle which is closest to you envelopes your body’s area network : a set or system of sensors that are placed inside or over your body. As you start to move away from your body area network, immediate ambience creates a canopy that has numerous smart and connected things in it. All these off-the-cuff technologies are working in tandem to enhance your self-awareness hands-free and help keep you safe and sound.

This circle of IOT can be expanded to your businesses as well, encompassing all essentials in monitoring your goals. In a nutshell, the fundamental force driving emerging technologies as these, depend largely on the enhancement of the quality of life.

Keep tuned to this space for more!
