have models of these infra-red headbands under development.

Gut health could be another benefit to red-light therapy, with belts emitting red-light around the stomach, which could be thought to benefit digestion. Although it is in its early stages, this innovation demonstrates companies wanting to employ wearables for health purposes and not just wellness.

Smart workwear

Firemen could have smart jackets to detect stress levels whilst on the job so the right decisions can be made about whether to pull them out of a mission if their mental or physical state could put them at risk. Smart helmets have also been designed to assess stress levels and are fitted with sensors to measure core-body temperature and heart rate to ensure the health and safety of workers and also their ability to be productive. With the data, managers could make informed decisions about how to proceed with the workday.

Augmented and virtual reality glasses could be used on building sites, with built-in cameras and a display over reality, so workers can communicate with each other or see building plans and engineering structures come to life. For more information on VR and AR headsets, see the IDTechEx report, 'Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality Headsets 2023-2033: Technologies, Players, and Markets'.

Comfort accessories

Wearables is a market that offers unique products specific to certain environments. In really hot countries, neck coolers have become popular, distributing cool air hands-free without needing a fan. If it's muggy or the air quality isn't the best, Dyson headphones have designed an attachable mouth cover to filter air so people can breathe normally. These products are likely to only be used in extreme conditions, but the scope for new ideas is huge.

Flexible audio headbands and smart rings could enhance comfort and peace of mind while sleeping. For sleep sounds, calming music during bedtime, or calming activities, the headband could offer softer fabrics so people don't need to compromise comfort. Smart rings have also been designed to track sleep cycles and fertility in a non-invasive way that is more comfortable than a watch. Both products aim to enhance wellness and the user experience.

The opportunities for innovation within the wearables market are vast, with products benefitting people across all industries. Having sensors incorporated into accessories and equipment used every day could mean revolutionizing safety in sport and during the workday, whilst a new approach to wellness could bring about a more natural way to bring people results.
