Wearable Technologies for Smart Environments: A Review with Emphasis on BCI

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for the development of smart environments to improve quality of life. A major role in this process have wearable devices capable of monitoring and recording psychophysiological measures/signals required for variety of applications including remote health monitoring, physical activity monitoring and general user interaction. This paper surveys the current state of technology, models and requirements of wearable devices with emphasis on Brain Computer Interface (BCI). BCI technology is a rapidly growing scientific field with a number of practical applications providing useful and accurate information and has a promising future. The paper also summarizes the current applications of BCI and presents their limitations and signal-processing algorithms. This area will be the biggest challenge of future research and development process. Other challenges include connectivity, data input, security, design, robustness, low energy consumption and energy harvesting.
