Empower Your Business with Cutting-Edge Wearable App Development Services

Wearable apps are both stylish and advantageous for brands that aim to reach customers who frequently use wearables and desire wearable capabilities. Let's look at some of the industries that are already using wearable app development services:

1. Health care

Wearable devices are a valuable asset to the healthcare industry. They help doctors monitor patient health and diagnose diseases. These gadgets gather health information, monitor heart rate, glucose levels, and more using various sensors.. The main goal of these applications is to improve the quality of medical services and to quickly diagnose even rare diseases.

Wearables for healthcare can come in many different forms, including smart bracelets, blood glucose meters, diagnostic chips, and heart rate monitors. Examples: VeriSense, Aira Tech, Quardio, Hexoskin 

2. Suitability

The mobile application is the most popular in the market. Fitness apps allow users to track their health and body condition. Smartwatches and fitness trackers provide the necessary tools to track physical activity during workouts, runs, and daily chores, calculate calories, measure distance traveled, etc Examples: Strava, Runkeeper, Google Fit, Nike+ 

3. Outdoor Navigation

As a leading solution, Google Maps is compatible with all platforms and mobile devices. There is a lot of potential for such solutions as more and more smartwatches and fitness trackers come equipped with GPS, gyroscopes, and other technologies. Thus, we can create an outdoor navigation application completely independent of the smartphone. Nowadays this can be incorporated with any of the travel apps making things easy for solo travelers.

4. Messaging

Thanks to connected watches, leaving the house without a smartphone doesn't seem impossible these days. The availability of messaging apps makes them even more useful as they are fully functional without needing to be connected to a phone. Example: telegram, coffee, skype

5. Education

Wearables are not limited to smartphones. Such solutions have a lot of potential as GPS, gyroscopes, and other technologies are increasingly found in smartwatches and fitness trackers.. With the help of AR and VR technologies, students can explore the world, examine molecules in detail, and study diseases and the human body. Example: ImmerseMe, Ocean Rift, Mondly

6. Entertainment

Mobile devices are used for many reasons: listening to music and podcasts while moving, running, or exercising. There are several ways you can approach creating the next Spotify for smartwatch. Examples: Shazam, Apple Music, and Spotify.

7. Insurance

The insurance industry is heavily congested with fraud. Insurers can benefit from wearables if they can get data from smartwatches and fitness trackers. In fact, such solutions already exist, such as a partnership between UnitedHealthcare, an insurance company, and Fitbit, the company behind the fitness tracker. Example: Reach

8. Fintech

The banking system can also benefit from wearable technology. NFC sensors are already a standard feature of smartwatches and fitness trackers, enabling contactless payments. Apple Pay and Google Pay, as examples.

Here are five things to know about mobile app development before you get started.

1. Understand the use case before you begin

"Use cases" are academic definitions that computer scientists use to describe the ways in which a product can be utilized. Without jargon, your wearable app use case is simply how your users will use and benefit from the app and what the results will be.  Think of it as the "story" of your users and the app: what drove them to download it and how it alleviated it.

So what is the use case for the application? Examples may include:

  • An AI personal trainer app that talks to users through a headset, uses a smartwatch to measure their vitals like heart rate and breathing and makes recommendations and recommendations.
  • A data logging app turns a pair of smart glasses into a recording device, which can be used to send auto accident data to insurance companies to help with claims processing.  
  • Smart ski goggles are designed to detect hazardous visibility conditions and warn skiers of dangerous slopes.


2. Determine what platform will be needed to survive the application

Every application needs a platform - an operating system if you will. In the pre-mobile days, your choices were simple: Windows or Mac, Android or iOS. An expanded menu of cellular options has muddied the waters. Deciding on the appropriate platform to design for may not be as straightforward as expected. The undertaking may become more intricate when an app involves the communication between two wearable gadgets, such as a smartwatch and smart glasses.

Here are some platforms to consider for mobile app development projects:

Smartwatch Platform  Smartwatches dominate the wearables market - versatile, versatile, a true competitor to a smartphone or tablet in terms of functionality. Determine if a wearable app should be developed to work on one or more of the following smartwatch platforms: 

  •  Wear Android. Android Wear 2.0 has come a long way with a more refined user interface, easier navigation, and QWERTY keyboard users that can access typing directly on the watch like James Bond. Wear 3.0 is expected to launch in 2021.  
  • Apple Watch OS. WatchOS 7.0 includes several updates to make the Apple Watch more family-friendly. You no longer need your own iPhone, making it perfect for kids and adults alike, with powerful parental controls, kid-friendly optimization, and interoperability between devices. Another Apple Watch.  
  • Samsung's Gear S series. The Galaxy Gear was originally an Android-based operating system, but it was replaced by Tizen in version 2.2. The Gear S series includes features like better battery life and voice-activated cameras.

Health tracking platform Fitness and activity tracking devices are not profitable for smartphones — they perform specific fitness functions. The physical activity tracking platforms wearable app might be suitable for include:  

  • Fitbit. Apps designed with CSS, JavaScript, and SVG can be compatible with Fitbit OS. Fitbit offers Fitbit Studio, a development platform specifically designed for the popular and resourceful fitness tracker.  
  • Garmin. Garmin makes popular fitness and sports wearables that developers can access using the Connect IQ SDK, a development platform for various Garmin devices.  
  • Samsung Gear Fit. The Samsung Gear S's fitness-specific cousin, the Gear Fit has significant cross-compatibility with its smartwatch counterpart.

Smart Glass Platform  Smart glasses use augmented reality (AR) technology to supplement the real world, when viewed through the glasses, with the additional information provided by the glasses. They can also receive feedback and, in some cases, interpret it. However, in the early days, smart glass platforms to consider include:

  • Epson Moverio machine. This Android-based operating system is designed to interact with built-in features such as GPS, gyroscope, light detection, accelerometer, and geomagnetic sensors.
  • Daqri. This more business-focused glasses operating system is perfect for industrial and medical purposes. Daqri provides the SDK as an extension of Unity.  
  • Sony smart glasses. Sony is at the forefront of AR integration, with glasses capable of displaying green text in the lens, among other functions, for consumer use.
  • Vuzix. This flexible platform extends to a wide range of devices, not limited to smart glasses.

Smart ring platforms  Smart rings are not yet widely accepted, but if you're looking to access the most advanced wearable technology, here are two smart ring platforms to consider:  

  • Talon. Talon Rings can connect to other mobile devices and even be used as light switches, remote controls, and other IoT devices. NFC ring.
  • NFC Ring. apps can be modified to make payments, transfer data, control access and perform other interesting functions.
     

3. Start thinking about security right from the start

With every emerging technology comes new security threats, especially in the digital world. Especially considering that many wearable applications come from the healthcare and medical industries, severe data privacy regulations often apply; many mobile app developers may need app security authentication for HIPAA compliance. 

Mobile app security risks to consider early include:

  • Native data. Data is usually stored on mobile devices instead of in the cloud. Too few mobile apps include this data encryption as a standard feature. Don't make this mistake: encrypt yesterday, encrypt today, encrypt forever.
  • Access to the camera. There are many wearable devices that use cameras and video cameras that can be hacked by cybercriminals to take pictures secretly for nefarious purposes. Be careful not to allow the app to access the camera on the device if it uses the camera.
  • Wireless Connectivity. Most mobile devices connect to the Cloud and/or other devices with connectivity such as WiFi and Bluetooth. If an application accesses a wireless connection, be sure to use secure connections.

4. Understand that UI and UX will be different.

Developers accustomed to designing apps for desktop and mobile operating system environments may have to relearn UI and user experience. Mobile devices tend to be much smaller, with smaller screens and fewer controls.

Here are some UI and UX principles to keep in mind when developing apps for handheld devices:  

  • Make it visible. The most important information about the user interface should be clear "at a glance".  
  • Make the device responsive If interacting with a wearable takes more than ten seconds, you still have some work to do. Consider replacing input inputs with quick one-touch responses or voice commands.
  • Keep it simple. Give users only the information and interactions they really need.
  • Make it minimalist. Adjust small display areas with minimalist design, including sharp contrast, easy-to-read fonts, and proper spacing between items (even with limited display space to work with).

5.  Be Mindful of Memory and Battery Consumption

Mobile devices typically offer less memory and battery power than their mobile counterparts and certainly less than desktop or laptop computers. Developers accustomed to developing desktop and mobile apps need to wear seat belts when developing mobile apps.

To optimize apps for these tiny devices, developers need to take a straightforward and simple approach: no extra code slows the app down, and no processes consume a lot of battery.
