복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스는 휴대성 때문에 유선으로 통신하는 것이 적합하지 않다. 복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스가 서로 통신 할 때 우수한 통신 품질과 그룹 활동 특징 때문에 무선통신 방법을 이용한다. 본 논문에서 복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스들의 그룹형 디스플레이를 위한 그룹결정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이것은 무선통신 환경에서 여러 개의 웨어러블 디바이스들이 단체동작 디스플레이를 할 때 거리측정을 통하여 그룹멤버로 인지하는 그룹결정 알고리즘을 의미한다. 실험결과 복수 개의 웨어러블 디바이스들의 그룹 디스플레이가 단일 웨어러블 디스플레이의 한계를 극복하였음을 보여주었다.

As we enter a super-aged society, studies are being conducted to reduce complications and deaths caused by falls in elderly adults. Research is being conducted on interventions for preventing falls in the elderly, wearable devices for detecting falls, and methods for improving the performance of fall detection algorithms. Wearable devices for detecting falls of the elderly generally use gyro sensors. In addition, to improve the performance of the fall detection algorithm, an artificial intelligence algorithm is applied to the x, y, z coordinate data collected from the gyro sensor. In this paper, we develop a wearable device that uses a gyro sensor, body temperature, and heart rate sensor for health management as well as fall detection for the elderly. In addition, we develop a fall detection and health management system that works with wearable devices and a guardian's mobile app to improve the performance of the fall detection algorithm and provide health information to guardians.

Purpose: Bus drivers are at high risk of chronic diseases due to risk factors associated with poor diet, physical inactivity, high levels of sedentary behaviors, and unfavorable working environments. This study developed a mHealth program for bus drivers, and examined the effectiveness of a mHealth program for promoting physical activity among bus drivers using wearable devices and health coaching. Methods: Forty-seven workers from two bus companies were allocated to the experimental group and the control group. Participants were asked to wear a wearable device (Fitbit Charge HR) during waking hours for a day. Participants in the experimental group were provided with a Fitbit, weekly face-to-face health coaching, a mHealth workbook, and text and photo messaging for 12 weeks. The control group only received a Fitbit. Results: By week 12, there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in exercise self-efficacy (p<.015) and daily walking steps (p<.001). Conclusion: The findings have demonstrated that the mHealth program using wearable devices and health coaching is effective for bus drivers for promoting physical activity. Based on our findings, it is recommended to encourage the mHealth program using wearable devices and health coaching for bus drivers' wellness.

Purpose As the smartphone market arrived at its saturation, from world leading information and communications technologies (ICT) businesses to startups, companies are competing to develop innovative wearable device products and suitable contents. Utility, technology, design, price, and various killer contents development targeting every customer's need should be considered for a success in the wearable device market. Design/methodology/approach Prior studies on innovation technology of ICT field have mainly focused on the innovation diffusion theory, expectation confirmation theory, and technology acceptance model, this study suggested the innovation resistance factors of adopting the smart wearable devices based on the innovation resistance model and theory of perceived risk. The model comprises the following two characteristics factors: 1) innovation characteristics which include perceived relative advantages, perceived compatability, perceived complexity, and perceived risk, 2) consumer characteristics which include attitudes towards innovation and existing products (i.e., mobile devices and analog watches). This study developed an extended innovation resistance model to explain the intention to acceptance of wearable devices consumers and collected 284 online survey responses from the non-consumers of the wearable devices. Findings The findings of this study suggest that perceived relative advantage, perceived compatibility, perceived complexity, perceived risk, attitudes towards innovation and attitudes towards existing analog watches affected the innovation resistance which has negative influence on the intention to adoption of wearable devices.

The cardiovascular syndrome is the dominant reason for death and the number of deaths due to this syndrome has greatly increased recently. Regular cardiac monitoring is crucial in controlling heart parameters, particularly for initial examination and precautions. The quantity of cardiac patients is rising each day and it would increase the load of work for doctors/nurses in handling the patients' situation. Hence, it needed a solution that might benefit doctors/nurses in monitoring the improvement of the health condition of patients in real-time and likewise assure decreasing medical treatment expenses. Regular heart monitoring via wireless body area networks (WBANs) including implantable and wearable medical devices is contemplated as a life-changing technique for medical assistance. This article focuses on the latest development in wearable and implantable devices for cardiovascular monitoring. First, we go through the wearable devices for the electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Then, we reviewed the implantable devices for Blood Pressure (BP) monitoring. Subsequently, the evaluation of leading wearable and implantable sensors for heart monitoring mentioned over the previous six years, the current article provides uncertain direction concerning the description of diagnostic effectiveness, thus intending on making discussion in the technical communal to permit aimed at the formation of well-designed techniques. The article is concluded by debating several technical issues in wearable and implantable technology and their possible potential solutions for conquering these challenges.

Because infants lack full communication skills and are not active main agents, nurturing and protection are essential. The value of smart devices that can help prevent potential threats and manage infant care is evaluated highly. This study offers basic research data that contributes to the development of devices for infant and parents as well as to future planning. This study compared and analyzed literature materials and visual materials based on news articles, advanced research, and official websites of brands. The research ranges and subjects are wearable devices for infants that were released or will be released between 2014 and 2017. Wearable devices that help protect and manage infant care are roughly separated into clothing, accessory, and the like. In this study, four kinds of clothing products, six kinds of accessories products, and fifteen kinds of other products were researched and a total of 25 kinds of products were analyzed. Categories was made in accordance with morphological characteristics, main features, materials and the design of wearable devices for infants depending on the device features. Wearable devices for infants that will be developed in the future must be based on a variety of suggestions in order to know best how to attach a sensor to an infant. From this study, the deduced trend analysis of wearable devices for infants can suggest new ways for follow-up studies as well as product development.
