What is wearable device technology

Wearable technology is an innovative technology proposed by the MIT Media Lab in the 1960s, using which multimedia, sensors, and wireless communications can be embedded into people's clothing, and can support a variety of interactions, such as gestures and eye movements.

Purpose of Wearable Technology

To enable rapid data access through "intrinsic connectivity" and to efficiently stay socially connected through the ability to share content at ultra-fast speeds. A seamless web access experience that eliminates the need for traditional handheld devices.

Wearable health devices are another branch of wearables that have evolved with the creation of wearable devices, which have been on the rise since the 1960s. In the 1970s, inventor Alan Lewis built a wearable computer with a digital camera that could predict the outcome of casino roulette.

In 1977, C.C. Colin of the Smith-Kettlewell Institute's School of Visual Sciences made an undershirt for the blind that converted the images from a head-mounted camera into tactile imagery through a grid on the undershirt, allowing the blind to "see," which, broadly speaking, could be considered the world's first wearable. In a broad sense, this could be considered the world's first wearable health device.

EVERY Labs believes that the field of health is the area where wearable devices should be prioritized for development and optimal future, and that the essence of wearable health devices is the intervention and improvement of human health. Wearable devices are also from the "information collection" to "direct intervention" development, wearable health equipment refers to the urban population for a variety of common diseases. For example: anytime and anywhere to the cervical spine to do a relaxation massage, and even direct intervention in brain waves to help people sleep. In this regard, foreign melon and domestic every have put forward their own innovative products in this regard.

Wearing comfortable, even senseless. To be completely senseless is still a pipe dream for today's wearable health devices. But trying to be as lightweight and compact as possible is what all companies are trying to do. Wearable health equipment and professional medical equipment, although the effect is not as good as the professional equipment, but its advantage lies in the convenience of the body, anytime, anywhere, health care treatment, for the prevention and alleviation of disease has a great advantage.

The use process should not interfere with normal life. Consumers cannot accept health devices that require dedicated time and constantly challenge their patience. Therefore, wearable health devices should be designed with due consideration not to interfere with the user's normal life and work.

The appearance should be suitable for the occasion and environment of use. Sometimes, it is not possible for wearable devices to be "invisible". But if they look good enough for the environment, or even cool enough, then users won't mind wearing them around.
