Abstract

Wearable technologies have revolutionized continuous health monitoring by enabling real-time, non-invasive, and personalized tracking of physiological parameters. This paper reviews recent advancements in wearable devices including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and medical-grade sensors for monitoring vital signs, physical activity, and chronic conditions. Applications in cardiovascular health, diabetes management, and sleep monitoring are discussed. The paper addresses challenges related to data accuracy, privacy, and user adherence. It also highlights the current status of wearable health technologies in Pakistan and proposes future directions for research and healthcare integration.
