Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2017 -- Wearable apps are wearable device-based applications that allow consumers to track and monitor their fitness levels and sports activities, keep a check on online transactions, and navigate maps using devices such as fitness bands, smartwatches, and smart glasses. These apps allow users to keep track of their heart rate, blood pressure, and the calories burned during a workout. Wearable apps are gaining popularity in the healthcare and industrial segments. They help to optimize operational efficiency. Most of the wearable apps work when they are synced with smartphones. However, as the technology is growing, a large number of vendors are creating stand-alone apps that can be installed in wearable devices, especially in smartwatches.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global wearable apps market to grow at a CAGR of 56.86% during the period 2016-2020.
