Diagnostic wearable medical devices are used to monitor, control, and track a person’s vital signs at regular intervals. Diagnostic wearable devices come in the form of smartwatches, eyeglasses, contact lenses, clothing and jewelry. These autonomous, non-invasive devices help assess specific medical functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, glucose levels, and blood oxygen saturation and transmit these data wirelessly to the user or medical professionals.

The miniaturization of diagnostic wearables is spurring the growth of this market during the predicted period. There has been an increasing focus on the development of smaller, more reliable, and more energy-efficient devices compared to the previous generations of wearables. For example, latest development in this field are smart pills embedded with a sensor the size of a grain of salt. This sensor is coupled with a wearable transmitter to monitor the physiological conditions and the intake of medications.
