Application of wearable medical devices in sports and fitness 

The wearable medical devices and sensors are gaining more popularity among the general population and athletic teams that propels the wearable medical devices market. Wearable medical devices are available in different categories including smartwatches, fitness tackers, and wearable medical devices among others. Lifestyle induced disorder such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes which requires the continuous monitoring of several parameters such as blood sugar and heart rate is anticipated to be the major factor driving the global wearable medical device market. The other factors such as growing awareness regarding health, focus on personalized monitoring and care, mounting awareness towards exercise and physical fitness is leading to the increased adoption of wearables such as smart watches and bands in sports and fitness application.  

Current market trends covered in the wearable medical device market:

• Sports Fitness segment is to dominate the market.
• Australian National University (ANU) researchers have recently developed optical sensors that can be used in wearable medical devices. These sensors can measure even a small amount of metabolite gases that are emitted from human skin and breath. 
• Epidermal-based sensors and fabric/flexible plastic-based sensors are now being used in the wearable medical devices to analyze human reaction in several situations.
• In March 2018, as a part of the five-year Welcome trust-funded project, a new generation of wearable brain scanners was created. This device enables neurologists to take scans while the patient can make natural movements.
• A battery less RFID thermometer that is a re-usable wireless epidermal temperature sensor is being used to measure the temperature of the body.
