become the chief challenge for the
wearable devices. Another issue is the
demand of minimization. At the present
stage, manufacturers know how to
minimize the size of the wearable
device, simplify the system space and
carry out more functions. In the future,
how to develop lighter, thinner, and
even smaller products suitable to use
at various daily activities of consumers
will be the question which all producers
will need to face. How to upgrade the
product into a simpler, lighter, thinner,
long-time use device so as to make
this device more common with wider
acceptance. Accordingly, a wearable
technology but un-sensible by human
will be the future trend for the wearable
devices.
The real valuable estate in the wearable
devices is the“big data”, the information
between the device and the cloud.
The most significant function of the
wearable devices is the collection of
quantifying data. Based on the factual
Picture 7: Push sensor (left), instant data upload to mobile phone (middle) and
historical data (right)
statistics and long-time accumulated big data, after they are transmitted to the intelligent clouding system, there will be
a big-data analysis which provides useful information to the user. For instance, use the data collected by the sports bands
and transmitted to the clouds. A team of medical professionals would give a basic health advice and further a health check
or medical insurance system and other added applications. Thus, there will be great potential for the business to make
profits. The governmental units can simultaneously monitor the health of all citizens. In the past, these data would be only
taken for academic research institute or for the technology. At the present time, the wearable technology can present the
real value and give feedbacks to the users and become sensible-information wearable technology.
