Smart watches and fitness wristbands are especially fashionable in the private sphere. Their intelligent electronics can be used, for example, to determine the wearer’s running speed and location, or to measure their pulse and heart rate. They enable users to collect data and find out more about their own body, fitness and exercise habits. In serious cases, the devices also make an important contribution to preventing illness and providing early diagnoses.
This new technology can also provide the professional environment with many benefits. In the medical profession, doctors are able to help each other during complicated operations by wearing data glasses.
In production and logistics, the intelligent glasses help with machine maintenance. They make employees aware of faulty procedures and give precise instructions on how to carry out repairs. They also document the work once it has been completed, so there no longer is a need to fill out forms.
