{"id":5468,"count":18,"description":"Digital natives love techy stuff, and from smartphones to smart homes, pretty much everything is getting an intelligent upgrade. Wearables are a part of this transformation, bringing new levels of convenience to various industries. Devices such as smart glasses, smart watches, and fitness trackers aren\u2019t just fashion accessories \u2013 they are actually improving our lives.\r\n\r\nWearables are already widely used in the fitness and health industry. Think wristbands that monitor our vitals in the gym, tattoo-like patches that measure oxygen levels in our blood, and smart contact lenses that allow people with diabetes to literally keep an eye on their glucose levels - in real time.\r\n\r\nOther industries are increasingly implementing wearables, too. The construction industry, for instance, though not the first to jump onto the smart tech bandwagon, is using smart vests with built-in emergency buttons to monitor employee vitals. Smart helmets can detect the impact of a fall, speeding up response times and making it easy to locate the injured worker. These are just some of the examples how wearables can ensure safety and avoid costly delays due to accidents.\r\n\r\nAs technology advances, we\u2019ll see more sophisticated and sleeker wearables on the market in the future, and just by observing how fast technology is progressing, we\u2019re not going to be disappointed.","link":"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/trends\/wearables-en\/","name":"Wearables","slug":"wearables-en","taxonomy":"trends","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trends\/5468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trends"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/trends"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?trends=5468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
