Once viewed as novelties, wearable devices can now positively impact daily, human interactions
According to researchers, humans are known to adapt to change, especially in the context of nascent technology
In one study, wearables conditioned humans to improve behavior in social settings
As wearable technology matures, more experimentation can address additional behavioral issues

Dr. Joseph Mercola, a physician who focuses on alternative medicine and has written extensively about the potential harmful effects of cellphones on the human body, said that as long as a wearable does not have a 3G connection built into it, the harmful effects are minimal, if any.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded in 2014 that “more research is needed before we know if using cell phones causes health effects.”
the output power of Fitbit’s trackers is so low, the FCC does not require them to be tested for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to RF radiation, including microwave radiation).
Because Google Glass operates on Wi-Fi, it has a relatively high SAR of 1.42, Moskowitz said. (The upper SAR limit that is considered safe is 1.60.)

8. Smart Hat (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology for Hazard Avoidance and Tracking)
2011 Georgia Tech Improving safety on construction or manufacturing sites has been the project's focus, Teizer says, noting that the group hoped to develop a non-active tag that would eliminate the need for batteries. However, he adds, the researchers did test a battery-assisted passive (BAP) UHF transponder, which provided a longer read range than the capacitor-assisted passive SmartHat tag. According to Teizer, active tags not only are vulnerable to inoperability if batteries die, but can also be expensive—as much as $500 apiece.

9. Smart Cap
The Fatigue Processor cards are contained in card docks under the brim of the Smart Cap. This wearable device is connected to a remote display which provides real-time information to the operator and relays visual and audio alarm if the user starts to fall asleep. Smart Cap works using small EEG sensors that pick up electric signals from the brain which is then analyzed to determine the drowsiness level using the EdenSafe Universal Fatigue Algorithm.
