Health wearables
Body-worn sensors that collect and share physiological data such as heart rate and blood pressure, capturing health data outside acute episodes and clinic visits — a commercial market projected at USD 62.82 billion by 2025.
1 · What it gives
Health wearables are electronic units with physical, chemical or biological sensors that collect, store and share physiological data such as heart rate or blood pressure. They replace or augment practice where health data was captured only during acute episodes or scheduled office visits. The market is at commercial scale, with the global health wearable market projected at USD 62.82 billion by 2025.
