Amar Kendale discusses the growing market for wearable devices and defines considerations for 24/7 wearability. Wearables must be comfortable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing to enable continuous passive sensing. Wireless connectivity allows for real-time data analysis and insights to inform users, patients, and healthcare providers. Examples like the Reebok CheckLight sports impact indicator and closing the data loop are provided. MC10 aims to reshape electronics to improve life through thin, soft, and conformal designs.
