The future of Smart Devices
Wearables and smart devices are currently in infancy
where their potential has yet to be fully tapped. Key
success criteria for wearables include unparallel
useability, unique and smooth experience as well as
an attractive price point. Wearables should not be
seen solely as a hardware device, but an ecosystem
and a portal that has omnipresent interconnectivity
and a wealth of content available. Healthcare is
among the most promising sectors for smart devices.
Wearable technology can enable virtual care by
collecting sophisticated data for both doctors and
patients. The future form and evolution of wearables
is uncertain. However, we can be sure it will be
different by leaps and bounds from today’s offerings.
Wearables and smart devices manufacturers must
keep the following in mind: small is beautiful, sensor
explosion, price matters, fusion of technologies, be
disruptive and integrate vertically.
