This paper discusses ITand information security challenges for wearable computing encountered during the WearIT@work project. The following novel ideas are introduced in this paper: authorization by proximity using dynamic context information to enable transfer of authorization from one party to another, a wearable pairing mechanism to use devices on other wearables, and a more intelligent mana...

Next generation wearable devices such as Smart health monitoring device and Smart Sousveillance hat, are capable of using wearable sensors for measuring physiological information, sousveillanace, navigation, as well as smart device to smart device communications. Smart health monitoring device collect and observe different health related information deploying biosensors and can predict health p...

Internet-of-Things (IoT) include a large number of devices that can communicate across different networks. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) also includes a number of devices connected to the internet where wearable devices are also included. Both systems enable researchers to develop healthcare systems with additional intelligence as well as prediction capabilities both for lifestyle and in hospita...

In the future, diagnostic devices will be able to monitor a patient's physiological or biochemical parameters continuously, under natural physiological conditions and in any environment through wearable biomedical sensors. Together with apps that capture and interpret data, and integrated enterprise and cloud data repositories, the networks of wearable devices and body area networks will consti...
