Tushali Khanna*

Wearable gadgets have evolved quickly, becoming essential components in the field of health monitoring. This abstract investigates the changing landscape of wearable technology, focusing on its transformative impact on personal health and well-being. As these devices grow more common, both consumers and healthcare providers must grasp their different types, benefits, and limitations. This study classifies wearable devices into three types: wearable spirometers, smartwatches, and medical-grade wearables. Each type is examined for its distinct features and functionalities, offering a thorough review of the many tools available for health monitoring. The taxonomy offered explains the rising span of wearable technology, ranging from lifestyle wearables to those built for specialized medical uses. The advantages of wearable health monitoring are numerous and go beyond basic data collection. Real-time monitoring, tailored information, and the promotion of preventative health practices are some of the primary benefits. This abstract dives into the positive effects of wearables, proving their ability to raise health awareness, promote physical activity, and aid in the early diagnosis and management of health conditions. Wearable gadgets have significant promise, but they also present issues that must be carefully considered. Concerns about privacy, data security, and the trustworthiness of health data collected by wearables are addressed. Furthermore, difficulties such as user adherence, technological limits, and the possibility of information overload are investigated. Recognizing these limitations is critical for developing a balanced perspective on the use of wearables in health monitoring. This abstract provides a thorough overview of wearable technologies, including their various varieties, benefits, and problems.
