This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design and prototyping of wearable technology and internet of things (IoT), in addition to their various components, applications, and practical considerations. The book also offers detailed design and prototyping of vital examples of these technologies covering all practical considerations. The authors begin with an introduction and brief history of wearable tech and IoT. They then move on to describe applications of the technology in the fields of biomedicine, civil defense, education, and more. This is followed by a review of electronic and digital circuits and other critical components. Later chapters discuss product development, security and privacy concerns, and software development.

Today, IoT and Wearable Technology are recognized as two of the fastest-­growing technologies and hottest research topics in academia and research and development centers. Wearable devices, which are characterized by being lightweight, energy-efficient, ergonomic, and potentially reconfigurable are expected to substantially expand the applications of modern consumer electronics. Similarly, there has been a massive interest in smart objects that can be connected to the Internet allowing remote access, processing, and control, which enable innovative services and applications. Such objects are utilized in smart homes, healthcare, power grids, transportation, and numerous other industrial applications.

Although IoT and wearable devices are electronic systems by definition, the study of these interrelated technologies is multidisciplinary and borrows concepts from electrical, mechanical, biomedical, computer, and industrial engineering, in addition to computational sciences. Having worked in this field for almost 12 years in both academic and industrial capacities, I feel the need to compile a comprehensive technical resource that academically tackles the various design aspects of these technologies.

The aim of this book is to provide an extensive guide to the design and proto­typing of IoT and Wearable Technology devices, in addition to introducing their detailed architecture and practical design considerations. The book also offers a detailed and systematic design and prototyping processes of typical use cases, covering all practical features. It should be noted that this book attempts to address the design and prototyping aspects of these technologies from an engineering/technical perspective rather than from a maker/hobbyist perspective.

The intended audience of the book encompasses both undergraduate and graduate students working on projects related to IoT and Wearable Technology. The book also serves as an extensive resource for research and development scientists, university professors, industry professionals, and practicing technologists.
