Health-monitoring devices become part of the user's body
Trend - Rather than only coming in the form of wearables like watches, health-monitoring devices that are essentially a part of users' bodies are being developed at a more rapid pace. These products allow for enhanced accuracy and more functional wear.
Insight - For consumers, the process of monitoring their health has become exhaustive. Between wearables, clothing and apps, many forms of health-monitoring aren't consistent with the desire for seamless interactions with tech. Thus, consumers are increasingly seeking out forms of personal tracking that don't require constant adjustments or checking.
