A wearable electronic device can be defined as a device physically worn by individuals, that has intelligence and is able to
take input, process that input and provide meaningful output. In principle Wearables have a connection to send data to
dedicated platforms on the web or on apps.
The term ‘‘wearable’’ implies that the support environment is either the human body or a piece of clothing. Handheld
and portable devices are therefore not strictly speaking wearable, but this distinction is not always clear as it also
depends on the conditions of their use.
We classified wearables in 4 categories:
• Wristworn
• Headworn
• Bodyworn
• Smart clothing
Can a wearable be a medical device?
A wearable medical device is a device that is autonomous, noninvasive or minimally invasive, and that performs a speciﬁc
medical function such as health monitoring or prevention over a prolonged period of time
It includes a sensor technology which is able to collect data in a non-invasive, reliable way and deliver information about
the surroundings in real-time.
A wearable medical device, or an accessory to such a device, needs to comply with the regulatory framework if it is to
be sold or distributed.

In the latest 5 years, $2.6B funds were raised for wearables. Verily is at the top of the fundraising with $1B,
however the money will not all go to wearables. Even if we are substracting the $1B, it is still $1.6B raised by
multiple companies.
o It is quite clear that companies are in a large majority start-ups.
o It is also clear that companies with interest in wearable healthcare are attracting investors.
As well, the number of Merger & acquisition (M&A) is showing a strong excitement around wearables. We could
find 2 major types for interest for M&A in the past 3 years:
o The acquisition of technology by acquiring a company or just an asset (inorganic growth)
o The acquisition of a company in the value chain to set-up a solution – value is in the hardware and the software.

• A wearable device, also simply called "Wearable" is a wireless electronic device that is worn on the
skin or close to it. A particular aspect is that this wearable is attached to the user, directly on the
body or on one of the accessory / cloth. Wearables are battery-based devices like smartwatches,
fitness bands or hearables, but could be also passive devices for a few of them like pH sensor
patches, skin micro-laboratories,…
• A wearable device is very similar to a smartphone and is sharing most of the challenges.

• Google ATAP (Advanced Technology & Project), a technology incubator of the
giant firm is developing a radar technology that could be integrated in mobile
devices like smartwatches (and smartphones).
• Google ATAP challenge was to develop a solid-state radar, small enough to reach
the footprint of wearables.
• Manufactured by Infineon, the radar chip is known as XENSIV 60GHz with high
resolution detection up to 2.5cm.The chip is integrated from
• Applications are Human Machine Interface (HMI):
• Gesture recognition
• Command control (Music, alarms,…)
• This could be an actual game changer, especially for a company like Google that
has been looking for a positive differentiator in order to finally penetrate the
consumer mobile and wearable markets after a decade of relative failures.
• Soli radar chip is not expected to be integrated into wearables before 2023.
