The wearable technology industry has undergone a drastic transformation in recent times. Starting with basic fitness monitors and health trackers, it has slowly but steadily grown into an advanced technological phenomenon. People now demand that wearables not only track health-related information but also offer more than traditional features.
There is a rising expectation among consumers for wearable technology that not only monitors health information but also offers personalized wellness advice, highlights areas of concern, suggests actions, and adapts to one’s needs in real time. This is true whether you want to improve your fitness levels, manage a health condition, recover from an illness, optimize your performance using Sportstech, or adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Moving forward, they will expect more of them.
Future wearable experiences will require devices that will be able to understand the context, predict the needs of the users, and operate independently instead of reacting to each user’s command.
Of course, all these expectations are forcing the wearables industry to rethink wearable device development in a new way.
Meeting such requirements requires much more than simply incorporating AI into the existing product. In today’s world, wearable device development is impossible without combining energy-efficient hardware, embedded software, wireless connectivity, cloud platforms, cybersecurity, lifecycle management, and AI into one ecosystem. Even more important, all these layers affect the end-user experience, which makes their integration an integral part of the product development process.
The problem is that all of this should happen in a battery-powered device.
People want real-time insights and constant health monitoring, but they do not want their batteries to go empty quickly. The truth is that today’s wearables must evolve from simply connected devices into intelligent ones that constantly understand the context and learn about users’ behavior.
Providing such features means performing increased amounts of data processing for sensors, more conventional AI computations, flawless coordination of all technologies used, and real-time response without lowering power efficiency, security, privacy, and reliability levels. This should all be done while fitting all the hardware needed, such as sensors, processors, antennas, battery management systems, and wireless technology, into light and comfortable designs.
The problem is compounded by the fact that every single technical choice will influence the whole wearable platform. Increased AI computations mean increased power consumption; increased sensor data gathering leads to better quality of insights but decreases battery life; and increased security measures require increased computational power as well.
Traditional development methods make achieving the proper balance even more challenging in wearable device development. Numerous engineering groups continue to recreate the same basic functionality from scratch for each wearable application before incorporating hardware, software, connectivity, cloud services, and AI. This strategy is certainly feasible now, but it is becoming increasingly difficult as wearables advance towards greater intelligence and autonomy. Rather than utilizing engineering resources to reinvent the basic functionality of platforms, OEMs require an engineering foundation that will speed up not only current wearables but also future iterations of wearables.
That is why today’s OEMs require engineering foundations that can consolidate the various building blocks required to build wearables in the modern age. Rather than trying to invent every technology stack for every new product offering, OEMs require a robust foundational base that will simplify the process of wearable device development without increasing engineering risks.
It is along such lines that the ProductXcelerate™ Blueprints by MosChip have been designed. These blueprints leverage pre-validated and reusable engineering foundations to enable OEMs to simplify development and accommodate future innovations in wearable devices and AI technologies.
The Wearable Companion Blueprint builds on this concept by applying it in health, wellness, and Sportstech use cases, enabling enterprises to develop connected, AI-driven, and intelligent wearables faster, better, and at scale, to develop the next generation of autonomous wearable solutions.
This is where the ProductXcelerate™ Wearable Companion Blueprint from MosChip comes in.
Instead of expecting engineers to design all parts from the ground up, the blueprint offers an engineering basis that is already pre-validated for developing next-generation AI-powered wearables in the health and wellness space. The blueprint can bring together all the ingredients necessary for designing, developing, connecting, and evolving smart wearable devices.
Instead of keeping the hardware, embedded software, connectivity, cloud platforms, and AI as separate engineering disciplines, the blueprint integrates them all into one engineering discipline: Hardware and Systems Engineering, Device Software Engineering, DigitalSky GenAIoT™, and AgenticSky™ (WearableCore).
Together, these domains ensure that the wearables can continuously track the activities of the user, communicate in a secure manner, derive context-based insights, and initiate proactive interaction with the users.
