In hospitals wearable computers would make the life of many people easier, for example, patients would not have to come to the hospital as often because doctors could be able to monitor them through their devices. Access to information would be instant and this would save a lot of time for doctors and their patients .

This technology is also used to conserve power consumption by placing the unit in standby mode when the users arm hangs down beside the body (patent-pending). This enhanced power management functionality enables the user to continuously interface with the unit up to more than 8 hours without interruption, depending on usage. Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS
