Apple, Nike, Samsung, and Google to name a few are spending a lot of money to monitor your body. $1.8 Billion to be exact for this year. So will it be your face, your wrist or perhaps a ingestible pill with a camera?
Wearables is becoming such big business that they predict that in five years, the amount of money that consumers will spend on wearable tech will skyrocket to $19 billion from $1.4 billion in 2013.
The number of shipments is also expected to rise eight-fold to 64 million in 2017 from the number of units shipped in 2012.
