Summary

The purpose of this Recommendation is to describe characteristics, specific requirements and capabilities of the IoT for support of wearable devices and related services.

From an IoT requirement perspective, the wearable device related services (WDS) are classified in this Recommendation in four main classes: wearable device related multimedia services (WDMS), wearable device related health management services (WDHS), wearable device related sport services (WDSS) and wearable device related assistant services (WDAS). Wearable devices (WDs) can be categorized according to their usage (WDS class).

Specific requirements and capabilities of the IoT to support the different WDs and WDS are provided. Furthermore, information concerning relevant use cases for WDs and WDS is provided in appendix.
