Wearable app development services for your success
Wearable software
Our wearable app developers build apps for wearable devices paying particular attention to such issues as screen limitations, low memory, security, power consumption, and connection stability. We provide full coverage of the existing wearables: fitness wearables, smartwatches, smart Bluetooth headsets and cameras, smart glasses, and other devices.
Wearable mobile app development helps visualize data from devices on larger screens and manage these devices in a more efficient way.
Back-end infrastructure
Backend stores data from wearables and provides advanced analytics and various mechanisms for exchanging data between multiple users. EffectiveSoft builds the back-end infrastructure for cloud storage and processing data from wearable devices.
Integration with 3rd-party software
We not only render wearable app development services but also integrate custom apps with third-party systems. Modern data exchange protocols enable wearable devices to send all the collected information to any 3rd-party applications for further analysis and storage. We also integrate wearables with middleware to collect information and transfer it subsequently to the cloud or other devices and apps.
Applications
Types of wearable apps
There are a few possible solutions that we can develop for a wearable device.
Standalone apps
Standalone apps run independently on wearables, and users can complete tasks directly on them. Smartphones are not required as the app utilizes the connectivity of the wearable device to connect it to the Internet.
Companion apps
Companion wearable apps complement mobile solutions. We develop wearable apps to support the limited functionality of the device or to utilize some functionality on the wearable device.
Faces
Faces are not applications. They are custom lock screens designed and built specifically for wearable devices.
We develop solutions (wearOs apps, watchOS apps) for smartwatches that allow for interaction with other devices. The app functions include push notifications from email clients and social networks, call management, audio/video communications, productivity tracking, gaming, payment options via NFC, and more for Apple and Android watch.
These apps track activity and monitor such vitals as sleep patterns, heart rate, and blood pressure. We also offer custom-designed dashboards that are used to output additional fitness data: results control, step counting, calories consumed, and exercises performed.
Medical wearables are used to remotely monitor data on users' personal health, track location, and send SOS requests. We develop custom applications for wearable health devices, including ECG, blood pressure and glucose monitors, biosensors, and medication reminders.
Wearable devices play a big role in supporting security. We develop one-touch alert and emergency software, as well as applications to facilitate authentication via biometric fingerprinting and face/voice recognition.
Although Bluetooth earbuds are not considered among wearables, there exist earbuds that can be used to collect and send data. It can be health data, voice commands, noise patterns, location, and other information.
Smart clothing is integrated with wearable devices that track the health condition of the wearer. We offer custom software for smart clothes which allows storing and processing data received from the device. These data are human biometrics: heart rate, breathing rate, steps, sleep, body temperature, and more.
Tech Trends
Trendy technologies used in wearable app development
The size of the global wearable technology market is constantly growing. EffectiveSoft can turn your wearable app idea into reality.
Integrating IoT into wearable devices offers promising solutions for such industries as healthcare, manufacturing, fintech, and insurance. IoT increases performance, provides accurate analytics, and streamlines routine tasks.
Wearable NFC and beacon connectivity
We add NFC and beacon technology to wearable devices (wristbands, rings, and watches) and accompany them with custom apps. NFC and beacons allow making payments, tracking the location of the device/person, and sending notifications to the device or the centralized management system.
GPS
The majority of wearable devices are equipped with GPS trackers, which is a cost-effective and convenient solution for location tracking and navigation. Besides sport and logistics, such devices are widely used in healthcare, surveillance, manufacturing, and other industries.
AR and VR wearable apps allow users to keep their hands free with their eyes focused on doing the tasks. We develop companion applications for augmented and virtual reality wearables that provide easy visualization and unique user experience.
industries
Promising Industries for wearable applications
Wearable app development is in demand across a wide range of industries.
Wearable devices are indispensable for the healthcare industry. They are aimed at improving the quality of medical services, assisting in clinical trials, enabling telemedicine, and more.
Smart glasses and earbuds, headbands, VR headsets, wearable video recorders, fitness trackers, etc. — the list of wearables applied in education is impressive. The wearable technology can make learning more accessible and engaging for students of all interests and ability levels.
03
Industrial wearables
Industrial wearables are designed to improve productivity and safety in the workplace by collecting data, tracking activities, issuing alerts, and much more. Such devices assist employees with doing certain tasks or measuring their health parameters when working in hazardous environments. We develop custom apps for industrial wearables and upon request integrate them with all the necessary corporate systems.
04
Sports
Wearables used in sports are not limited to smartwatches and wristbands. The constantly growing need to collect and analyze data on multiple sports metrics encourage sports companies to invest in creating imperceptible wearable devices that could be integrated in clothes, footwear or equipment. Such devices provide data to monitor vital signs, support appropriate training, and help with competition scheduling.
Besides contactless payments, digital banks and other financial market players use the wearable technology for user authentication, risk assessment, transaction tracking, and more.
We have a team of mobile app developers, QA engineers, UX/UI designers, and business analysts that closely work together to cover all the steps of the wearable app development process: research and requirements analysis, design, development, testing, app deployment, and support.
The wearable device app development cost is entirely based on your unique requirements, a wearable device type, project scope, and man-hours. Other factors that influence the cost are platform and tech stack, UX/UI design complexity, app’s functionality, testing strategy, and post launch support.
Depending on the customer requirements, our wearable app developers build apps for iOS, Android, Tizen, Windows or cross-platform.
