WEARABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND ITS FUTURE APPLICATIONS

The popularity of wearable technologies have increased day by day. In the near future, wearable technologies are expected to become an indispensable part of our daily life. The aim of this study is twofold. The first one is the classification of wearable technologies based on the specifications and applications as; wearable health technologies, wearable textile technologies, and wearable consumer electronics. The second aim of the study is study is to point out how wearable technologies will be a milestone both for daily life of people and the way of doing businesses of the companies in the future. The potential applications indicate that the future will be safer, easier, healthier, quicker, and more entertaining with the wearable technologies.
