ABSTRACT

Wearable technology has several applications in personal wireless communication and medical devices. The biomedical industry has been in continuous growth in the last few years. Several medical devices and systems have been developed to monitor patient health as presented in several books and papers. Accessories that can comfortably be worn on the body are called wearable devices. Wearable technology is a developing multidisciplinary field. Knowledge in bioengineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, and mechanical engineering is needed to design and develop wearable communication and medical system. One of the main goals of wearable medical systems is to increase disease prevention. By using more wearable medical devices a person can handle and be aware of his private health. Several physiological parameters can be measured using wearable medical systems and sensors. Wearable technology provides a convenient platform that may quantify the long-term context and physiological response of individuals.
