Smart wearables collect and analyze data, and in certain scenarios, they make intelligent decisions and provide responses to users, resulting in an increasing number of applications in our daily lives. In this research, we thoroughly examine the most recent and significant research works conducted in the field of wearable Internet of Things (IoT) and categorize wearables into four main groups:
i. health,
ii. sports and daily activities,
iii. monitoring and tracking, and
iv. safety.
Wearable medical sensors have revolutionized the health monitoring process by offering capabilities for real-time monitoring and personalized interventions. Their integration with artificial intelligence and machine learning enhances their functionalities, allowing for data analysis and health condition prediction. However, this technology also brings a series of challenges that require attention.
The fundamental differences of the algorithms related to each group are aggregated, analyzed, and the research challenges and open issues for each group are discussed accordingly. This research reveals that although Cellular IoT (CIoT) has many advantages and could bring significant applications to IoT wearables, it has rarely been studied by researchers. We also address the opportunities and challenges related to the implementation of wearables with CIoT capabilities.
