The Vision
The concept here is to implement wearable technology as our every day wardrobe that provides a layer of safety. Getting dressed is nothing new and the wearable technology physically and technologically adds a layer of safety. Your clothing IS the the medium where your medical information is stored, updated and IS the thing that calls for help in the event of a potentially harmful circumstance.
Wearable technology already exists all around us. We see it in Smart Watches and fitness trackers such as the Fitbit. The “Google glasses” was short lived. We also have gliding suits that replace equipment of skydiving and hand gliding. Cloud storage, voice activation and technology that doesn’t require a peripheral i.e. device is not readily “all around us” without paying fees for them. We still rely on a device to access the World Wide Web and services that enhance our daily lives and make life more efficient. What if we could incorporate these technologies in our every day wear in a way that will prevent harmful incidents and provide an excellent level of safety for our well-being?

The Problem
The Future
My idea of wearable technology coincides with a future era where an entity like the World Wide Web can be accessed by recognizing your body and/or voice activated and is “all around us”. The purpose of my idea of wearable technology is applied in the area of emergency care and safety alerts. Logistics in technology that are needed for it to be successful include:
