Smart watches, bracelets, collars. Smart watches, however, seem poised to bring about what CES 2014 organizers called the
‘‘wrist revolution’’. The Pebble, hailed as another prospective competitor for Google Glass, comes equipped with the same
sensors as smartphones. Apple’s iWatch, yet to be unveiled at the time of writing, is rumored to also be sensor-rich. Smart
bracelets are not only confined to fitness and time-keeping, but also have other health-related uses. In January 2014, Netatmo
has announced its JUNE bracelet that monitors UV intensity in real-time and tracks total skin exposure to the sun throughout
the day via an accompanying app and, depending on the users skin type, calculates the suggested maximum daily exposure.
Wearable pervasive sensing is not only for humans: unveiled at CES 2014, Voyce is a smart collar for canine health monitoring
equipped with accelerometers and can measure heart rate. The goal is to track changes in activity level that could indicate
early signs of common conditions including arthritis, hip dysplasia, heart and lung.
