With rapid advances in technology, wearable devices have evolved and been adopted for various uses, ranging from simple devices used in aiding fitness to more complex devices used in assisting surgery. Wearable technology is broadly divided into head-mounted displays and body sensors. A broad search of the current literature revealed a total of 13 different body sensors and 11 head-mounted display devices. ⋯ There is a potential role for head-mounted wearable technology and body sensors in medicine and patient care. However, there is little scientific evidence available proving that the application of such technologies improves patient satisfaction or care. Further studies need to be conducted prior to a clear conclusion.
