Key Challenges of Wearables

Key Challenges of Wearables:

The biggest challenge for the wearable industry is to get a sustainable customer engagement. Many wearable electronics are short lived because of its short term customer engagement. Bad quality, pain to sync with smartphones, poor battery life, uncomfortable and awful design, UX problems, are some of the functional reasons which put the user off the device. However, you might find wearable devices that are very strong functionally and physically and still bomb at the market simply because, they failed to create any meaningful impact on the users, their lives, habits or behaviors.

need for Wearables Technology

The need for Wearables Technology:

The Wearable technology aims to influence the fields of health and medicine, fitness, aging, disability, education, transportation, enterprise, finance, gaming, music, etc. The goal is to smoothly enter the daily lives of individuals and become a functional part of them.

The hands-free nature of the wearable computing devices makes it very useful for businesses. Tracking the emergency and rescue team becomes easy thus making the workplace more efficient and safe. Hands-free access to important data and information through smart glasses and smart watches helps researcher, engineers, and technicians to be more efficient at their work.
