IoT and wearable devices are enabled by the latest developments in smart sensors, embedded systems, and communication technologies and protocols. The fundamental premise is to have sensors and actuators work autonomously without human involvement to deliver a new class of applications. The recent technological revolution gave rise to the first phase of the IoT and wearable devices, and in the next few years, these devices are expected to bridge diverse technologies to enable novel applications by connecting physical objects together in favor of intelligent decision making.

Benefits are substantial, but so are the challenges. This will require businesses, governments, standards bodies, and academia to work together toward a common goal.

In short, IoT and wearable technology are representative icons of the most recent industrial revolution. Given that we advance and evolve by transforming data into information, knowledge, then into wisdom, these technologies have the potential to change the world as we know it today, in new and exciting ways.
