Wearable Technology - Part One

By George Harding

One of the fastest growing segments of the technology industry is that of wearable items. These involve hardware/software combinations that sense and display information about your body and your performance.

At CES 2014, there were many vendors showing their products measuring your pulse, temperature, oximetry, steps, sleep time and even keeping track of your diet and efforts to lose weight.

Since that time, only 8 months, this field has exploded with more companies and more products examining ever deeper into you and your activities. Many of these products involve a wristband with the usual features of a watch, but are enhanced with features relating to your health.

One such is a watch by Casio that not only has all the usual features of a multi-function watch, but also measures heartbeat, notifies you of calls and email, keeps track of your workout data and more. No info yet on price.
