Keeping track<\/h3>\n

\"Fitbit<\/p>\n

Google’s recent acquisition of Fitbit highlights that there\u2019s no slowing down in the growth of the wearable tech space. According to\u00a0statista.com<\/a>, revenue in the wearables segment is projected to reach R250bn in 2021, and the smartwatch sector is expected to grow from shipping 66.5 million units in 2019, to shipping 105.3 million units by 2023.<\/p>\n

Wearables have evolved from the early years of simple step counters, to now include temperature tracking, pulse oximetry and blood oxygen sensors, and continuous glucose monitors. Other innovations include heart rate variability, ECGs, respiratory rate, and sleep patterns, all making the type of data that could once only be measured at a high-performance medical facility, available to anyone at home.<\/p>\n
