Next Generation Wearable Electronics for Healthcare

近年来，可穿戴电子设备的流行度出现了爆发。大多数商用设备都能完成计算用户步数的简单任务，有些还能记录心率，同时利用社交媒体来激励用户改善他们的移动习惯。这些可穿戴设备已经取得了一定的成功，然而，到目前为止，它们主要是面向健身训练的，它们在更广泛的应用中提供改进功能的潜力在很大程度上仍未实现。

In recent years, there has been an eruption in the popularity of wearable electronic devices. Most of the commercially available devices perform the simple task of counting the user’s steps, with some also recording heart rates, while invoking social media to motivate users to improve their mobility habits. These wearables have achieved reasonable success, however, to date they have mainly been geared toward fitness training, and their potential to deliver improved functionality in a wider variety of applications remains largely unrealized.
