Wearables are mini computers you can wear. They are worn directly on the body, count heartbeats, steps and much more and draw conclusions from them:
Wearables record it incorruptibly and sound the alarm if the values are outside the norm. And because they are connected to the internet, the results can be compared with the results of others. Their feedback is an incentive: it helps to optimise training or set healthy goals. This is popular.
Almost 445 million wearables were sold worldwide in 2020. But wearables are not just leisure companions: they are also playing an increasingly important role in medicine and care.
