Wearable technology, wearables, fashion technology, smartwear, tech togs, skin electronics or fashion electronics are smart electronic devices that are worn close to and/or on the surface of the skin.

“Wearable products are those electronic devices which are worn by the users on their body”.

This technology has great potential to change everyday life.

Wearable products are increasing the connectivity of the world. Enabled with the internet connection, these wearable products can connect to your smartphone, PC and laptop and transmit data about your real-time position, health, habits, etc.
Many of the devices in the market have been specifically developed for the US army. However, these devices are now being used by other people for different purposes as well. This market was valued at US $10 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach US $50 billion by 2018. The greatest demand for this technology is from the male population.

There are several products on the market that are specifically designed for people in their teens along with others for adults.

As a result of the rising price of wearable technology, the technology is now being used for the cutting edge of biometric security. This has been implemented for the protection of personal space. This prevents strangers from entering someone’s property, while allowing authorized individuals to enter freely.

It is a very common misconception that wearable technology is only for adults. In fact, wearable technology has a great potential to change the behavior of children as well. In this article, we will take a look at some of the top wearable startups. Feel free to comment as well.
