IoT wearable devices are powerful tools that can sense, process, store, and communicate significant information. The great leap forward in wearable devices is not only the result of its innovative technology, but also the applications they now can provide such as patient monitoring, wellness/sports/fitness, entertainment, and other forms of computing. But all wearable devices today have one thing in common: they all use sensors. And there are all kinds of IoT wearable device sensors available today, including temperature, UV, proximity, heart rate, motion and many others. This learning module is an introduction to some of the common types of sensors used in IoT wearable devices today.
