The Apple Watch was unveiled to all on September 9th. The Apple Watch is said to be the most “personal product” that is possible for Apple to make from a creative stance. This is what has been said by the company itself. “This is because it is designed to be the very first one to be worn,” is the statement that they have given. This watch is one that does join the other products like the bracelets that Fitbit and Jawbone do produce themselves. This category of very special products is what is known as being wearable technology or just simply wearable’s. These line of exclusive products are worn to send, receive, and to process information as fast as possible. The Apple Watch can do lots of things from track your location to monitor your heart rate to recognizing the voice of its wearer.
What is the wearable difference with the Apple Watch?
Smartphones and their associative apps have been doing a whole lot to manage a whole lot of great things for its users. Some of these things do include being able to manage their energy and so very much more. Taking care of the user’s energy does include their personal fitness, as well, in addition. Managing their energy does take place between connected thermostats, the charging for electrical cars, the sharing-economy services, the monitoring of solar panel output, amid other things. So, with all of this said, why should you wear an Apple Watch when you do have an iPhone already? What are the extra valuables that wearables do unlock that are not made accessible through other forms of technology?
What wearable technologies can do for people is very obvious. They are able to gather up biological data. This biological data is all about heart rate and body temperature in description. A phone in one’s pocket cannot get this kind of information like wearable technology can. That is the long and the short of it to be exact. The data sources that do come from these wearables can tell a much better and more complete story than if they were just accessed from an iPhone.
Wearable tech can far better match the energy in that of your home
Wearable tech does indeed have its very own special ability. This special ability is being able to match one’s own home energy use than anything else. This especially does apply to the heating and cooling for one’s own needs. Just imagine how much money a home can save if the device on a wrist does signal a household thermostat to go into “away” mode. This would happen the moment that a person left their home physically or their neighborhood.
Wearable technology can be a match at the office workplace as well
If you have often experienced working in a very cold environment during the summer at the office. This is due to the fact that the building control system doesn’t really know in essence just how people do feel. What about being an office that is way too hot in the winter time? Even if the temperature is one that is well conditioned to a certain target temperature can indeed feel much too hot or too cold. This is according to one’s personal preference versus that of another. What wearable technology can do this very apparent? It can reveal essential information like body temperature, heart rate, and respiration to help condition the person rather than the entire space. It is far more efficient a thing to make a person more comfortable than it is to heat or cool the entire office or workplace.
Is there an era coming for that of personal energy profiles?
Is energy use becoming highly personalized or will it become highly personalized? The answer to this question is something that is attached to different individuals. It is not a difficult thing to construct personal energy profiles from individual demand and consumption. However, this could be the very thing, which could in essence open the door up wide to personal energy bills.
Or, we can go a step further here with wearable tech, in addition to sending out personal information about wearers. It can also be the very thing to receive signals back to individuals from their utility. Can it be possible for wearable tech to open up a personal version of demand response?
What is more important privacy or personal comfort?
A lot of the overall comfort-improving and energy-saving features that are listed here are done with your compliments. What this translates to is this. It is something that is being made available by sharing your information with computers. This can tend to be something that can sure open up issues with Big Brother and the privacy of very personal information and exactly who can see that information. The wearing of such wearable tech can indeed be just another front line towards more distributed energy resources These DERs will not be just about rooftop solar panels and the batteries in one’s garage. They will also be about people wearing wearable technology.
