Several projects are developing smart, connected wearable devices to revolutionize health and patient care using IoT. One project focuses on creating an in-shoe sensor for foot and ankle surgery patients. Pasteables “peel-and-stick” devices can be worn on any part of the body for health and activity monitoring. Other wearable devices include scapular motion monitoring for improved orthopedic care, a smart scoliosis brace for real-time feedback and treatment enhancement, and sleep monitoring devices.
