This medical study explored the use of smartwatch and smartphone as a diabetes patient self-management tool. The system, including a two-way communication between the applications on the smartwatch and mobile phone, was tested with 6 people with type 1 diabetes. The designed smartwatch system displays the time, day, date, and remaining battery time. It also allows for the entry of carbohydrates, insulin, and blood glucose, with the option to view previously recorded data. Users reported usefulness, responded positively toward its functionalities, and also provided specific suggestions for further development.

This article talks about the security concerns of wearable technology. Wearing wearable technologies depend on a huge amount of data that they access and generate. This article tells us that there are two major problems that researchers and technology developers are struggling with. The first problem is, finding ways to transmit data to and from wearables. The second problem is making sure everyone’s information is kept safe. Some companies have tried to improve security on mobile devices and wearables by equipping them with biometric devices such as fingerprint readers and iris scanners.

This article examined smartwatch market, including a five-year forecast, key growth trends, market leaders, consumer demand, and more. The articles predicted several trends for the next few years. Demand for smartwatches has cooled as consumers wait for better functionality, but the market could take off when functionality improves. Apple will continue to drive a large portion of the overall market, however, Android Wear devices will quickly catch up as emerging markets begin to adopt the technology. Health and fitness remain a dominant segment of the smartwatch market, providing healthcare workers and hospitals with savings opportunities. As technology and app development advances, the benefits of smartwatches within these segments will become even more robust.

This article starts off talking about the first smartwatch which was called Hamilton Pulsar P1. It describes how the technology has improved over years. The digital watches started to become modern smartwatches with a number of smart features and high-computing power. Throughout the rest of the article, it goes into details about if smartwatches are an acceptable wearable technology. The researchers conducted an online survey assessed the proposed psychological determinants of smart watch adoption. The results indicated that the devices' subcultural appeal and cost were notable antecedents of user attitude and intention to use, respectively.

This article talks about the future of the internet of things and their potential risks. The authors mentioned a few examples of application areas where the use of IoT devices brings inherent risks. Hospitals and healthcare establishments tend to use devices that are already remotely controlled or accessible Things: patient monitors, body scanners, pacemakers, defibrillators, infusion pumps, main and auxiliary power, lighting, air conditioning, and much more. The article also mentions critical infrastructure sectors such as electric power, oil, natural gas, manufacturing, and transportation use IoT devices as sensors and actuators for automation and remote monitoring and control. The controllers themselves may be Internet accessible.

This picture was published by Maurizio Pesce. It is free and can share. Smartwatches can record personal data. This picture shows smartwatch can measure a person’s heart rate. Privacy is a major concern as technology companies find ways to collect and use personal health from the wearable devices of their customers. Although wearable device presents a security risk, wearable users are apparently willing to provide their personal data in exchange for the benefits of monitoring health. To increase security, encrypting wireless signals is needed.
