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. The latter have been reported for use in surgery (n = 7), imaging (n = 3), simulation and education (n = 2) and as navigation tools (n = 1). Body sensors have been used as vital signs monitors (n = 9) and for posture-related devices for posture and fitness (n = 4). Body sensors were found to have excellent functionality in aiding patient posture and rehabilitation while head-mounted displays can provide information to surgeons to while maintaining sterility during operative procedures. 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.
随着技术的飞速发展，可穿戴设备不断演进并被应用于各种用途，从用于辅助健身的简单设备到用于协助手术的更复杂设备。可穿戴技术大致分为头戴式显示器和身体传感器。对当前文献进行广泛检索后发现，共有13种不同的身体传感器和11种头戴式显示设备。后者已被报道用于手术（n = 7）、成像（n = 3）、模拟与教育（n = 2）以及作为导航工具（n = 1）。身体传感器已被用作生命体征监测器（n = 9）以及用于姿势和健身的与姿势相关的设备（n = 4）。发现身体传感器在辅助患者姿势和康复方面具有出色的功能，而头戴式显示器可以在手术过程中保持无菌的同时为外科医生提供信息。头戴式可穿戴技术和身体传感器在医学和患者护理中具有潜在作用。然而，几乎没有科学证据证明此类技术的应用能提高患者满意度或护理质量。在得出明确结论之前，需要进行进一步的研究。
