Abstract
Evolution-wise, smart wearables emerged from being simple fitness trackers to advanced tools suitable for chronic illness management, healthcare, and personalized medicine. This review integrates a decade of research (2014–2024) to analyze the technological progression, therapeutic uses, and moral issues of wearable devices. Studying over fifty studies, we observe strides in sensors fusion, Al-powered diagnostics and energy scavenging while revealing systemic problems in equity, privacy, and sustainability. Our findings indicate how dire cross field collaboration is in order to ensure equitable benefits for all humans through newer inventions.
