wearable sensors
On-body tracking devices
Wearable sensors are electronic devices worn on the body that monitor physiological or environmental data—heart rate, steps taken, blood oxygen, sleep patterns, UV exposure.
The term covers everything from fitness trackers and smartwatches to medical-grade monitors: Her wearable sensors tracked her glucose levels throughout the day.
The data typically syncs to phones or computers for analysis.
