        abstract = {Wearable technology has become a game-changer in healthcare, changing the way doctors track and improve patients' health. This paper looks at different types of wearables like fitness trackers, smartwatches, and medical devices, and how they are used in healthcare. The review focuses on how wearables help monitor patient health, including tracking health in real-time, allowing doctors to watch over patients remotely, and managing long-term diseases. Wearables can detect health problems early by collecting and analyzing data continuously, helping doctors act quickly and avoid patients needing to go back to the hospital. For people with chronic conditions like diabetes, wearables can help create personalized treatment plans and encourage people to take charge of their health. The paper also explores how wearables can improve overall healthcare by giving patients access to their own health information, making them feel more in control and motivated. This is part of a larger trend towards personalized healthcare, where treatment is tailored to each person's health data and predictions are made to prevent illness. However, there are some challenges. Issues like keeping health data safe, protecting privacy, and making wearables work well with current healthcare systems need to be solved. The paper discusses ways to overcome these challenges, and how to get more people to use and trust wearable technology, ensuring it can fully benefit healthcare.},
