Whenever we get to hear about smart wearables. Smartwatches and smart bracelets are what comes to our minds. But today we will be discussing some of the smart wearables that are not this common as compared to smart-watches.

Smart Fingers

While telling about the length of something we usually use our fingers and hands as the reference to give the idea of the length and width of the thing you are talking about. The smart fingers allow us to tell the exact length of what our hands are telling. It actually converts our finger into a ruler and we can simply measure anything through our fingers by wearing it. It can be worn on any of the two fingers. It actually depends on the user’s need for which fingers he/she wants to use in measurement.

Smart Ring

This works the same as the smart-watches. They are used for getting notifications and being connected without having the phones in hand. This same purpose is fulfilled by the smart rings. But one thing that is fascinating and actually appreciatable about it is the design. It is super elegant and one cannot imagine receiving notifications on the ring. Its manufacturing and design are absolutely fascinating.

Smart Belt

It is a health-friendly item. We have health apps on our phones which can count our steps, reminds us to drink water, and other things like that. The smart belt also counts our steps but it is not only limited to the steps count. It also measures our waist and also measures our sitting time. The health apps are in our phones and thus have some limitations. The smart belt is something that is on our bodies and can go beyond the limits of the health apps on our phones.

Smart Shirts

Whenever we go to the doctors, they check us up in a certain environment. It is not possible for any medical specialist to check someone’s body condition in a normal routine. The smart shirt makes it possible, it senses the stretching and contraction of the chest which measures the amount of air inhaled and exhaled. It also keeps track of the heart rate, pulse rate, and movement of the body.

Smart Shoes

Smart shoes provide information about our health, posture, fatigue, steps, and calories. It also suggests some of the ways to improve our health. It connects with the app and provides real-time coaching through it.

Smart Glasses

One can monitor their life through smart glasses. It creates a virtual reality. It also allows us to look into augmented reality. One can also take real-time pictures and videos through it.

Smart Socks

Like smart shoes, it also counts the steps. But, it also looks for the right position to put in our foot while walking, running, or jogging. Moreover, it also provides feedback and suggests ways to improve.
