6 Wearables that Go “Dressing” People in a Connected Future Even without Opening the Smartphone

6 Wearables were chosen and succeeded in choosing users. But only one per category.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC) data, the wearables market is changing, and total sales volumes are expected to keep pace. They predict that the wearables market will reach a total of 240.1 million units sold in 2021. Check this table from them:

Here goes the list:

1. Samsung Galaxy Watch.

Galaxy Watch continues the success story of Samsung smartwatches. It has two sizes and different styles, with a silver version of 46 mm and a 42 mm option in black or gold.

Smartwatches are the most popular wearables for those interested in “dressing” innovation. This new smart watch model now emits analog clock sounds as well as providing a depth effect that creates shadows defining a traditional look. Much more customization is feasible in this new model.

2. The “ABILIFY MYCITE” Pill from Otsuka Pharmaceuticals.

It cannot be said to be a success yet, given that it was recently approved (2018) by the US FDA, but it is a great promise. This pill is ingested and has a sensor the size of a grain of sand and transmits biometric information to a device (Patch) on the back of the patient. Hence, this information goes into a traditional application informing the patient and doctors. For example, it may be informed, the reaction to the particular medication, the lack of use of the medication itself, or some abnormal occurrence. The digital pill is then eliminated normally by the body.

The first approved version is only indicated for patients with bipolar, depressive or schizophrenic disorders, but it opens the way for a much more expanded use in the not so distant future. We can imagine after the maturation of this pill, the amount of applications for conventional treatments. A Wearable that promotes Smart Health starts its journey now.

3. Smart Glass Vuzix Blade

In the wave of devices mounted on the head, smart glasses are the ones that most arouse interest. The Vuzix Blade has been endorsed as one of the best in the midst of powerful competitors. The idea of ​​a Smart Glass is to have a screen at all times at your disposal without opening the Smart Phone. But it works with them, via Android or iOS. In your glasses, the Augmented Reality appears, wherever you are, and where to point your eyesight intelligently and transparently.

Information for example may be patient records that a physician observes, route mappings, restaurant menus, weather alerts, or presence of contacts around. At the same time, the user uses a “fashionable” device. Soon we will see a lot of walking around, as often as happened with Smart Watches.

4. Levi’s Commuter / Google Jacquard

Continuing in the fashion line, the jacket of Levi makes this partnership with Google. By using conductive tissue links, it provides a way for users to control music, make phone calls, and get directions with a flick or slide on the wrist.
