Wearable technology

Introduction

According to [ Wikipedia] (June, 2018), “Wearable technology, wearables, fashionable technology, wearable devices, tech togs, or fashion electronics are smart electronic devices (electronic device with micro-controllers) that can be worn on the body as implants or accessories. Wearable devices such as activity trackers are best example of the Internet of Things, since "things" such as electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity are effectors that enable objects to exchange data (including data quality[5]) through the internet with a manufacturer, operator, and/or other connected devices, without requiring human intervention.”

According to Arguel (2018), Barfield & Caudell, 2001) defined wearable technology as:

• functional and autonomous computers worn on the body,
• able to access information,
• freed from constraints of place and time.
