Wearable device
Definition
A subcategory of IoT device worn on the body, typically a fitness tracker, smartwatch, or medical monitor. Wearables generate high-frequency sensor data including step counts, heart-rate readings, blood-oxygen levels, GPS tracks, and sleep stages, all timestamped and usually synchronised to a cloud account.
