Wearables technology refers to computing devices that can be worn on the body. This document discusses wearables, outlining their background, current state, challenges, and how to start developing innovative solutions. It defines wearables and discusses their adoptable cycles and user/market needs. Challenges include design thinking, developing people-centric health devices, and existing product limitations. The document recommends starting with a human-centered design approach to address user needs and capabilities. Examples of current wearable technologies and products are provided.

- 13. “ For wearable tech to work for the masses, it has to be: Unobtrusive, lightweight, practical, user-friendly, inexpensive, user maintainable (think battery replacement), and attractive.” KEN HESS ZDnet “ The biggest hurdle to wearables hitting the mainstream isn’t technology. It’s fashion.” CHRISTINA FARR Eastwick DESIGN THINKING FOR WEARABLE Challenges
- 14. ““I have a few health conditions, and that meant that I had to wear a few of these devices–splints and supports, Tens machines … I was appalled at how these things are designed. The fit is very poor. The materials are gross. How can we make these objects more desirable?”” Peta Bush healthweardesign.com DESIGNING PEOPLE-CENTRIC HEALTH DEVICES Challenges
