Wearable devices have been broadly studied and explored in the last ten years in many various directions such as sports, education, healthcare, transportation, military, and many others. Currently, one of the sectors widely using such devices is industries and factories interested in improving the level of labor safety as part of the broader Industry 4.0 paradigm. This paper aims to overview the current state of the wearable devices market related to this niche and highlight modern industrial wearables, new techniques, and approaches in this research field. The purpose of this article is not to criticize but to provide information for developers in this scientific field and identifying possible areas where improvements are required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
