Wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT), Applications, Opportunities, and Challenges: A Survey

Wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT), Applications, Opportunities, and Challenges: A Survey

Smart wearables collect and analyze data, and in some scenarios make a smart decision and provide a response to the user and are finding more and more applications in our daily life. In this paper, we comprehensively survey the most recent and important research works conducted in the area of wearab...
