Wearable Systems Supporting Healthy Daily Life

The usage of wearable devices such as smartwatches and wireless earphones has spread increasingly in recent years. Their functionalities are to keep track of body movements, location, and biometric signals and to inform and entertain the wearer mainly by visual and auditory means. These functionalities are generally put together and provided to the user in the form of application software (appli) that often support fitness and sleep monitoring. This chapter presents two case studies that go beyond fitness and sleep analysis and show how Wearables will enable the creation of systems that support healthy daily life.
