6. Conclusions

In this chapter, we outlined various aspects of wearable technology and its implementation in a wide range of applications, starting with healthcare, continued with other domains and concludes with the integration of wearables to navigation and safety systems. Wearables technology is still at its development and growing stage. We expect wearables to continue its fast growth and be implemented in much more domains, transforming our life to be much more convenient, safe and automated.
