Abstract

Wearable consumer electronics such as smart watches, rings, and hearables are increasingly used to collect real-time physiological and activity data for health monitoring and disease prevention. As researchers and practitioners at the forefront of wearable technologies in health and medicine, the Young Professionals of EMBS organized a Roundtable Discussion on the 17 July 2025 at the 47th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC’25) to identify key challenges and recommendations for the field and we would like to highlight some key recommendations and insights from our discussions for the broader community.

期刊介绍： The IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine is an open access product that bridges the engineering and clinical worlds, focusing on detailed descriptions of advanced technical solutions to a clinical need along with clinical results and healthcare relevance. The journal provides a platform for state-of-the-art technology directions in the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering, embracing engineering, life sciences and medicine. A unique aspect of the journal is its ability to foster a collaboration between physicians and engineers for presenting broad and compelling real world technological and engineering solutions that can be implemented in the interest of improving quality of patient care and treatment outcomes, thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency. The journal provides an active forum for clinical research and relevant state-of the-art technology for members of all the IEEE societies that have an interest in biomedical engineering as well as reaching out directly to physicians and the medical community through the American Medical Association (AMA) and other clinical societies. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited, to topics on: Medical devices, healthcare delivery systems, global healthcare initiatives, and ICT based services; Technological relevance to healthcare cost reduction; Technology affecting healthcare management, decision-making, and policy; Advanced technical work that is applied to solving specific clinical needs.
