Top 10 Innovative Wearable IoT Devices

Wearable Technology, as fascinating and futuristic as it sounds, will soon become a reality. Ten years ago nobody would have thought that we would have
a palm-sized computer called smartphones everywhere in our pockets. Today, not only 82.2% of the world's population carries a smartphone, but people
are also becoming acquainted with other wearable devices, such as smartwatches, tness bands, and so on. With the availability of advanced technologies
to shrink electronics and the connectivity options o ered by the Internet of Things (The portable technologies market is growing steadily and is expected to
reach $ 51.6 billion by 2022.

When thinking about a wearable device most of us would limit our thoughts with smartwatches or smart glasses. But, apart from smartwatches, various
types of wearable devices are available in the market which can help you to upgrade your daily lifestyle. In this article, we will look at the top 10 wearable
devices in the market and the technology behind them.

8. Smart clothing

We came to know that apart from smartwatches there are many tools available. But you will be surprised to know that your clothes have also become a
part of smart technology. Yes, now your clothes can easily provide you all the information related to your health.

Smart clothing is an advanced fusion of technology and fashion, an innovation that makes the imagination a reality. They integrate electronics into textiles
through exible fabrics, that’s why smart cloths are also known as E-Textiles.

A recent survey by the World Economic Forum has revealed that 92.1% of corporate leaders believe that by 2025, 10% of people will wear clothes that will
be connected to the Internet.
