Wearable Technology Market Is Driven by Increased Adoption of Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers in The Healthcare Industry | Global Insight Services

Incorporating MEMS sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer into specialized wearable devices has led to rapid growth of wearable device market. These sensors have aided the fitness tracking wearable in monitoring body activities. Factors such as rising demand for smart devices in the healthcare sector and a surge in demand for IoT devices will propel the market forward.

The increased frequency of chronic diseases and obesity has led to increased adoption of wearable gadgets such as activity trackers and body monitors that provide real-time data on a user's overall health. These wearable gadgets also provide data on daily activities and physiological data like calories expended, heart rate, oxygen level, blood pressure, cholesterol level, and sleep.

According to a HIMSS survey, more than half of healthcare providers regarded wearable technology to be beneficial in monitoring their patients. They use commercial and personal-grade wearables to track prescriptions, check health conditions and vitals, follow post-operative patients' recovery, and track sleep.

However, as smart wearables' technological capabilities expand, complexity and data security issues are likely to become roadblocks to industry expansion. Nonetheless, in the coming years, ongoing research in the smart wearable field is expected to overcome these issues.
