Abstract

There is a current trend of wearable sensing with regards to health. Wearable sensors in devices as simple as our own mobile phones allow us to monitor various aspects of our lives. Through this monitoring, wearable systems can utilise data to positively influence an individual's overall health and wellbeing. We envisage a future where technology can effectively help us to become the healthiest that we can be, but the current state of wearables and future directions are unclear. In this paper we present an overview of current methods used within wearable applications to monitor and support positive health and wellbeing within an individual. We then highlight issues and challenges outlined by previous studies and describe their future focuses of work.
