Abstract:
Wearable technology has become an integral part of modern life, offering innovative solutions for health monitoring, communication, and personal productivity. This review explores the critical role of industrial design in enhancing the ergonomics and usability of wearable devices by examining how design principles balance aesthetics, functionality, and user comfort. Analyzing current literature on user-centered design and ergonomic integration, the paper delves into factors that influence wearability, such as device form factor, material selection, and user interaction models. Drawing on insights from sources like Don Norman's The Design of Everyday Things, which emphasizes intuitive usability, and empirical studies in human-computer interaction, this paper highlights how industrial design bridges functionality with aesthetic appeal. Case studies on health-oriented wearables illustrate the impact of ergonomic design on long-term comfort and user acceptance. Findings reveal that achieving an effective balance among aesthetics, functionality, and comfort requires a holistic approach to design, where usability and user experience are prioritized. This paper underscores the need for future research into adaptive, customizable designs to accommodate diverse user needs, thus advancing the field of wearable technology.
