Abstract
The Internet of Wearable Things (IoWT) has emerged as a revolutionary technology in recent years, with the potential to impact various fields including health, sports and entertainment. The Smart wearable devices are designed to be worn on the user's body. They can take many forms, including accessories, medical devices, clothing or parts of clothing, and are capable to collect a large amount of data, analyze it, make smart decisions and provide personalized responses to users. Wearable systems can be broadly defined as mobile electronic devices that can be unobtrusively embedded in the user's outfit as part of the clothing or an accessory. In particular, unlike conventional mobile systems, they can be operational and accessed without or with very little hindrance to user activity. To this end they are able to model and recognize user activity, state, and the surrounding situation: a property, referred to as context sensitivity. Thus, IoWT offers a convenient platform to ensure these functionalities and exchange vital information with dedicated servers. It also provides outstanding features to monitor body biometrics while using non-invasive means. Nevertheless, several challenges arise, such as: decision-making, interoperability, energy consumption of portable devices, confidentiality and data security, which makes their development difficult. Therefore, our doctoral research aims to propose an approach to develop IoWT systems. The current work aims to study IoWT systems, extract their characteristics, components and important issues and trends that should be addressed during development. Thus, the study focuses on investigating recent and relevant literature.
