The military has benefited from the use of wearable technology for years now. Soldiers wear sensors in their uniforms and cameras in their helmets. When it was noticed that such devices were quite cheap to produce, app developers and makers decided to introduce them to the market in 2013. Companies such as Google, Samsung and Sony were quick to jump on the bandwagon. Google created its idea of ​​wearable technology with the launch of "Google Glass". The high-tech glasses can do almost everything a computer can do, such as navigate, make calls, take photos, record videos as you see them, and even video chat. Other developers have created their own interpretations of “smart watches.” All are based on the same concept, which is to put most of the functionality of mobile devices directly on the wrist, while maintaining the simplicity of a watch. Contrary to popular belief, watches and glasses are not the only accessories made for wearable technologies, some places have made t-shirts that charge phones and vests that allow for patient monitoring in hospitals. Many wonder how these devices can be anything other than a fashion trend. The wearable technology revolution is more than just a way to access your cell phone or computer device directly from your wrist or glasses, it can also be beneficial when it comes to the health of older adults. It has been said that in many parts of the world people are trying to identify technologies that can help in the care of the elderly (Apex, 2013). Wearable technology plays a vital role because it can help monitor the patient and can also install alarms that can prevent medical emergencies (Apex, 2013).
