With the rise of the Internet of Things, weartech has become an increasingly popular solution for people to keep track of their health.

Encompassing devices such as insulin monitors and pumps, and smart watches which can track heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, weartech helps users monitor and regulate their health more carefully, reducing the need to call on a healthcare professional. The storing and transmittal of physiological data also allows healthcare providers to monitor their patient’s health more reliably. Weartech can also encompass the ever-growing applications for smartphones and using smartphones as a measuring device.

While telemedicine apps can fall outside of patentability, lots of other weartech can be protected using a patent application or a registered design. Here at Barker Brettell, we can advise you on how best to protect your weartech – be it a smartphone app or a new device.
