There are so many exciting new opportunities available to utilize wearable technology in the future.  Areas such as nanotechnology disease monitoring, crowdfunding to wearable accessories are some excellent examples of the potential. Estimates vary, but appear to suggest that the market will produce between $14-50 Billion over the next few years.

Some of the biggest findings are:

  • 74.9 percent of US adults do not use a fitness tracker or smartphone app to track health, weight, or exercise
