Wearables are smart electronic devices that can be worn on the body as portable accessories. Examples of popular wearables are smartwatches, physical activity monitoring bands, etc.

With the increasing use of such technologies, mobile applications that support these devices and synchronize and process collected data are increasing. Today we address the importance of integrating mobile applications into wearables.

Firstly, it is essential to understand what makes wearables so appealing. At a time when being online and having access to real time data has become virtually indispensable, carrying this technology in the body, with internet connection and notifications is a huge advantage. Depending on the complexity of the wearable, many have the same functionality as a smartphone, with the added value of being even more portable.

The integration of mobile applications into wearable technology is an opportunity for businesses, mainly due to rapid market growth. The number of consumers, the number of devices and revenue are growing fast. Fitness bracelets and smartwatches are by far the most popular portable devices.

On the other hand, it is important to realize that mobile wearable applications are still a little explored segment. There are many more features to consider than just fitness and health trackers. Especially concerning the corporate market, it is increasingly relevant to develop productivity management systems, attendance and even virtual reality systems for employee training.

Making different digital operational processes will contribute to increased productivity, safety, cost effectiveness, health assessment and accident prevention.

All of these business opportunities are great ways for companies to explore the world of mobile wearable applications and meet the expectations of an unsaturated market.
