Abstract

The recent progress in computational, communications, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and the widespread availability of smartphones together with the growing trends in multimedia data and edge computation devices have led to new models and paradigms for wearable devices. This paper presents a comprehensive survey and classification of smart wearables and research prototypes using machine learning and AI technologies. The paper aims to survey these new paradigms for machine learning and AI for wearables from various technological perspectives which have emerged, including: (1) smart wearables empowered by machine learning and AI; (2) data collection architectures and information processing models for AI smart wearables; and (3) applications for AI smart wearables. The review covers a wide range of enabling technologies for AI and machine learning for wearables and research prototypes. The main findings of the review are that there are significant technical challenges for AI smart wearables in networking and communication aspects such as issues for routing and communication overheads, information processing and computational aspects such as issues for computational complexity and storage, and algorithmic and application-dependent aspects such as training and inference. The paper concludes with some future directions in the smart wearable market and potential research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
