Explore WICED Wearable Technology: The Open Frontier of the Internet of Things

The concept of wearable technology is not a new technical concept for everyone. The glasses and watches that you see every day have been around for a long time. Modern technology has extended this category of products to new areas, and gradually formed some concepts that were previously unimaginable, which will force us to rethink the true meaning of "connection."

Connecting new devices for monitoring human health to today's mainstream smartphones generates a wealth of information that may have a profound impact on our lives. This is exciting for technology companies like Broadcom.

This trend is the best embodiment of the new concept of “Internet of Things”. It's an all-encompassing buzzword that includes a variety of unconventional network-connected devices such as refrigerators, home thermometers, and even cars. However, the meaning of the Internet of Things is not limited to household appliances and automobiles.

Every part of our body, each of our actions, produces a wealth of information that can be collected and analyzed by wearable sensors and processors, such as heart rate, blood glucose readings, carbohydrate intake, and calorie consumption. Wait, with this data, we can better understand ourselves, the people around us and the world around us.

At the heart of wearable technology is the embedding of wireless connectivity into sensor-equipped devices, which will be a key factor driving the development and adoption of the IoT ecosystem. Wireless technology not only delivers personal data to the cloud for analysis and storage, but also shares the data on the smartphones and tablets we carry with us, so the workload of these sensing devices is greatly reduced.

We can take advantage of the powerful processing power of existing smartphones and tablets to handle data collected by wearable devices such as vital signs, athletic metrics or sleep quality. This reduces the need for wearable device processing power while reducing power consumption. In turn, the cost of equipment manufacturers will also be reduced, and consumers will be able to purchase these wearables at a lower price.

In the near future, advances in battery technology can make the wearable device's power self-sufficient. Wireless power transmission, energy harvesting, and even human energy conversion power will drive the transformation of the entire industry. But before these are realized, technology companies like Broadcom will focus on efficient RF and low-power designs.

Powerful wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Smart Bluetooth, NFC and GPS have laid the foundation for our work. Broadcom's Embedded Device Internet Wireless Connectivity (WICEDTM) product development kit has adopted many engineering concepts in this area. Similarly, the Broadcom BCM4390 SoC helps manufacturers leverage their research enthusiasm and expertise to produce wearable products that change the way people live by using independent wireless connectivity. It is not difficult to see that the field of wireless combo chips is developing rapidly, and Broadcom is at the forefront of this integration trend.

Imagine what happens when almost everyone wears a device that continuously collects heart rate data over the air and synchronizes it. At that time, the entire wireless network will certainly be under tremendous pressure. Wireless spectrum resources are limited and we must do our utmost to ensure that future infrastructure meets workload requirements. In the context of exponential growth in data traffic, a reasonable management approach is needed. At present, Broadcom's existing technologies such as new access points, home gateways, small base stations, backhaul data and ultra-high-capacity switches have solved some of the problems for us.

The mainstreaming of wearable device technology is not as far away as it is imagined, and can even be said to be within reach. According to research institutions, in 2014, shipments of wearable devices will exceed 100 million units; by 2018, shipments will be no less than 485 million units. But what do these devices look like? At present, everyone can only guess. Because there are many innovative ideas in the market, it is impossible to confirm which concepts will gradually become popular: are the smart glasses, watches, bracelets we have seen? Or, there are more innovative devices that will slowly enter our lives in the future.

Analysis of the existing product landscape reveals that the current market is diversified. In the field of health products, there are dozens of popular products, such as FitBit, Jawbone and Nike's bracelets that track and monitor human activity. There are even manufacturers that offer wearable devices that monitor health and activity for pets! Wearable devices that are already on the medical market include blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, and even devices that can help children with autism and attention deficit disorder better self-management and environmental monitoring. .

Wearable technology is more than just a concept, it is becoming an emerging industry. As long as you choose the right technology, all the ideas that stay in the concept stage can become the reality of changing the world. Broadcom is so convinced and has been working hard for it...
