Wearable technology, wearable, fashionable technology, wearable devices, tech togs, or fashion electronics are clothing and accessories incorporating computer and advanced electronic technologies. The designs often incorporate practical functions and features, but may also have a purely critical or aesthetic agenda.
Wearable Technology is on the rise in personal and business use. In healthcare, many examples exist to date. Google Glass is a much noted device, offering promising technology but to many, pricey and awkward in use. Smart watches so far have not been deployed much, as limited functionality and clunky aesthetics may get in the way. Some other devices are already in use, others still on the horizon —that wearable could be useful in professional and personal settings. Medical Professionals such as Google Glass Surgeon have now organized themselves in WATCH-Society the Wearable Technology in Healthcare Society, in order to search for collaboration and valid use of wearable technology in healthcare.

Wearable technology is very expensive. Discomfort – very uncomfortable to wear Another problem faced by wearable technology is that it releases a lot of “RADIATION”
The sock has textile pressure sensors embedded in the sole and these feed data back to a removable anklet that, in turn, syncs the information with the Sensoria smart phone app. This happens in real time, so you can be checking your cadence and striking pattern as you run. Sensoria says that both cadence and the way your foot hits the ground as you run can have a big impact on your overall performance and health.
