Wearable technology continues to evolve, from smartwatches and ear-worn devices to more “smart clothing” solutions that can gather more detailed data and are easier to use.

Health and wellness wearable technology has grown beyond shiny accessories. Companies are developing and testing clothing-oriented wearables to enhance remote monitoring for critical healthcare needs.

“I’d say we are in the third generation of wearables, and the industry is converging the best of both the medical and wellness sides,” says Venk Varadan, co-founder and CEO of Nanowear. “It is really going to be transformative in healthcare.”

This next iteration of wearables is going beyond well-known devices such as smartwatches and exploring other clothing options to gather more detailed data and become more user-friendly.
