State-of-the-Art of Industrial Wearables: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Wearable devices have been broadly studied and explored in the last ten years in many various directions such as sports, education, healthcare, transportation, military, and many others. Currently, one of the sectors widely using such devices is industries and factories interested in improving the level of labor safety as part of the broader Industry 4.0 paradigm. This paper aims to overview the current state of the wearable devices market related to this niche and highlight modern industrial wearables, new techniques, and approaches in this research field. The purpose of this article is not to criticize but to provide information for developers in this scientific field and identifying possible areas where improvements are required.
