ABSTRACT
Wearable technologies and IoT devices have recently become a popular industrial and academic domain. These devices come in a variety of form factors and are developed for a vast number of different applications. From health and fitness, to augmented reality and entertainment, wearable devices have the potential to become integral parts of our daily lives. In this talk, the current states of wearable technologies and wearable computing are discussed, followed by the critical role of data science in the evolution of wearables. A roadmap of where the field could be headed is then put forth along with the details of how data science can lead the way. Finally, a description of some of the current key challenges that need to be addressed in order to unlock the full power wearable technologies is provided.
