Understand the future of wearable devices

by Mark de Clercq, Dialog Semiconductor - Embedded Computing, Aug. 18, 2015 – 

According to analyst IHS, by 2019, the wearables market is estimated to reach more than230 million units, comprised of various devices promising always-on health monitoring, leisure connectivity, environment automation, and a broad range of security functions. These features will place a huge demand on hardware and software design, including increased battery life, smaller size, ease and speed of charging, digital encryption and security, and the sophistication of sensor and communication technologies.

The trend to incorporate more sensors into wearable devices will accelerate in the coming years, giving us not only a wider spread of information about the world around us but also making it possible to understand higher-level patterns in our activities and helping us to make better lifestyle choices. As new products enter the market, and different approaches to wearables are trialed, we'll see our accessories increasingly interacting with other smart devices from wristbands, clothing accessories, jewelry, headphones, and glasses incorporating miniaturized technology. Leading semiconductor manufacturers are already shrinking their devices and developing single-chip integrated solutions that combine power management with sensor interfaces, processing, security, and communications.
