ABSTRACT

Wearable technology is transforming health monitoring by enabling real-time, continuous tracking of various physiological parameters. This paper examines the evolution, benefits, challenges, and future trends of wearables in healthcare. The integration of sensors and mobile technology allows for more efficient personal and population health management. However, concerns about data accuracy, privacy, and ethical implications persist. As innovations such as smart clothing and AI-driven diagnostics emerge, the role of wearables in healthcare is expected to expand, offering new possibilities for early detection, preventive care, and personalized medicine.

Keywords: Wearable technology, Health monitoring, Smart devices, Physiological sensors, Data privacy
