Wearable technology is one of the research hotspots,which can be used in real-time monitoring of hospital patients and family health caring,and it has broad application foreground and huge marketing potentiality. Wearable technology puts forward higher requirements on the wearability of devices and the reliability and security of data transmission. There are some problems needed to be studied and solved in the development of this technology. In this paper,the research status and industrialization progress of wearable technology are reviewed,and the studies and development of wearable technology in the future are prospected.
