Wearable Sensors Market by Type and Application -

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recent advancements in sensor manufacturing, microelectronics, nanotechnology, telecommunication, and miniaturization and data analysis techniques have opened up new avenues for wearable technology in the digital health ecosystem enabling a range of improved health outcomes. In the past, the size of front-end electronics and sensors made it difficult to use them in wearable tech to gather movement and physiological data. With the advent of miniature circuits, front-end amplification and microcontroller functions, wearable sensors are being largely deployed in digital health monitoring systems. Sensors and wearables together allow continuous physiological monitoring with minimal manual intervention and at a significantly low cost. Such sensors can be easily integrated into a wide range of accessories such as hats, garments, wrist bands, shoes, socks, eyeglasses and other devices such as wristwatches, smartphones and headphones. While some sensors, primarily medical-grade ones, are used on a stand-alone basis. With the advancements in cloud computing, various wearable sensor devices can be easily upgraded without the need for users to install software in their monitoring devices which makes it cheaper and easier to maintain the functioning of these devices.

Wearable sensors Market facilitate long-term physiological monitoring which is critical for treatment of different chronic disorders and mental health issues such as diabetes, depression, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and anxiety. From a cost perspective, the primary purpose of using wearable sensors is to move healthcare away from where it is most expensive i.e., clinics and emergency rooms, and move towards outpatient monitoring and preventive measures. The primary motivation behind developing wearable sensors is to create technologies that will enable the users to regularly monitor their health related parameters and track the progress in all stages of life and diseases.

Some of the key driving factors for the global wearable sensors market are, increasing demand for sensor based wearable devices in healthcare, security, lifestyle and fitness applications, increased penetration of wireless connectivity networks worldwide and rising global acceptance of smart devices. Wearable technology is touted to replace smartphones in the near future as they promise more convenient way of communication in day to day life. Increasing research and development activities focused on utilizing sensor based wearable technology for logistics, manufacturing and military and security applications will largely contribute to the future growth of wearable sensors market. However, factors such as security concerns related to data security and rising need and demand for device integrations leading to interoperability issues can hamper the market growth.
