Introduction
The wearables technology has come of age in the last decade and from now and onwards you can easily expect much more from technology. It is projected that wearables will grow up to $ 100 billion by 2025 to uptake new technologies, versatile features, and integral need for smart connected devices. In this article, some of the biggest wearables technologies that will define our lives in the year 2025 will be discussed.
Smartwatches and sporty fitness bands
Smartwatches are one of the most eagerly awaited wearables tech in the year 2025. Derivatives of improved microprocessors, sensors, and wireless technologies made them possible to build smartwatches that can do much more than only telling the time and counting the number of steps.
But if you want to take the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, its bigger screen size, rotatable bezel and fall detection are worth the extra expense. The company’s sixth series apple watch has a blood oxygen sensor, an ECG app, as well as an always-on altimeter. Thus, today smartwatches may fail to track blood glucose levels, detect sleep apnea, and monitor continuous blood pressure in their present forms but by 2025 they will be able to do all that and many other things.
While fitness trackers, by contrast, will transform into multipurpose devices, which are not only able to track the physical activities but also monitor psychological well-being. Smart clothing including heated clothing for warmth and recovery as well as for health monitoring will shatter and interlink with fitness Trackers for an all rounded view of health.
Virtual and Augmentated Reality (VR/AR) Glasses
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are two growing domains in the wearables technology. This is because; By the year 2025 there will be manufactured a full-formed, specifically wearable virtual reality/ Augmented reality glasses that are affordable and reasonably comfortable to wear.
Future VR/AR wearables that are expected in the future of the following; Microsoft’s HoloLens 3, which is expected to offer untethered experiences, an improved tracking gaze, lastly, 3D spatial mapping, also, Facebook’s AR glasses, which are expected to enable communication, as well as the sharing of media.
For instance, if wearables technology is fused into VR/AR,Executing activities like watching online videos, joining virtual meetings, and even performing remote work out will be enhanced and reality has been added.
Haptic Feedback Clothing
Vibration feedback technology is a well known technology which was once employed mostly in video games and Smartphones. The advancement of wearables technology will in turn be followed by haptic clothing by 2025.
That is the most fundamental feature of haptic feedback clothing that provides the user with the feeling of touch when exploring the different applications including game, fitness and work.
Smart clothing is already out in the market with clothing brands such as Outlier selling smart garments with haptic sensors to deliver touch feedback of tangibility. But from the year 2025, there will be more use of haptic feedback clothing, thus helping in creating a new paradigm for interaction and experience in a person’s daily life.
Health Monitoring Wearables
By 2025, wearables technology will be a major part of social commuting, while different health monitoring devices will serve different consumers. These include:
1. Glucose monitoring smartwatches: Particularly amazing are smartwatches with built-in blood glucose tracking that will transform diabetic patients’ into conscious commanders of their health.
2. EEG headbands: Smart EEG headbands will work as an effective tool for real-time tracking of the brain, making life easier for patient suffering from neurological and mental diseases.
3. Hearing aids: Premium hear aids will be smaller and less visible, provide better sound quality, and enhanced realisation of words.
4. Smart contact lenses: Smart, non-invasive glucose monitoring contact lenses shall help the diabetes patients get the required glucose level information through contact lenses.
Wearables for the Elderly
The demographic of the elderly people is increasing and this is a new problem on its own and so wearables technology will enhance their lives. By 2025, various smart devices will cater specifically to the elderly, such as:
1. Fall detection and assistance: The intelligent wearables with the fall detection systems will help the caregivers and the service providers whenever the client has an accident.
2. Medication reminders: Smartwatches and patches will be used to encourage the users to adhere to the right time when to take the medication and how to measure the dosage.
3. Activity monitoring: Aging people’s vital activities will be invasively tracked using wearables so as to gain better understanding on their the care they require.
4. Social engagement: Wearable would also be on communication, enabling facial recognition for elderly to speak to their loving ones through calls, messages and alerts.
Challenges and Limitations
Nonetheless, there are some drawbacks in relation to wearables technology even today. The following issues can be identified as major concerns for wearables’ development: privacy issues and data security, since wearables produce large amounts of personal information. Mitigation of these factors will be vital to increase public acceptance and hence utilise wearables technology in the society.
Moreover, battery life, cost and ease to use will be among the things that will have to be worked on to increase adoption of wearables in the population.
Conclusion
What was envisioned about the Wearables technology in 2025 is the integration of microprocessors, sensors, wireless technology and artificial intelligence. In the future, as the market becomes mature, several new products that will accommodate the various needs of customers will be developed. Several years from now, wearables technology is no longer an accessory that makes style statements; it has become a necessity in society with potential to enhance human health, performance and well-being.
