Sensors for Better Living: A Future Connected Healthcare System

Sensors for Better Living: A Future Connected Healthcare System

Wed, 14 Jan 2026

Sensors for Better Living is a combination of wearable, healthcare and medical devices along with applications that can connect all the healthcare information systems through networking technologies. It’s a very big market that was reported to have a worth of 22.5 billion USD in 2016 and it’s expected to become a USD 142.45 billion by 2026. Wearable and Medical devices can collect, analyze and send data across the web using this technology. It can connect both, digital such as heart monitor and non-digital devices like patient beds to the internet. An increase in world population along with a significant aging portion is forcing rapid rises in healthcare costs. The healthcare system is going through a transformation in which continuous monitoring of inhabitants is possible even without hospitalization. The advancement of sensing technologies, embedded systems, wireless communication technologies, nanotechnologies, and miniaturization makes it possible to develop smart medical systems to monitor activities of human beings continuously. Wearable sensors monitor physiological parameters continuously along with detect other symptoms such as any abnormal and/or unforeseen situations which need immediate attention. Therefore, necessary help can be provided in times of dire need. The seminar will review the latest reported systems, the trends on wearable and medical devices to monitor activities of humans and issues to be addressed to tackle the challenges to make our lives much better and more comfortable.
