What is the Skintight Monitor trend?
Skintight Monitor: Rather than only coming in the form of wearables like watches, health-monitoring devices that are essentially a part of users' bodies are being developed at a more rapid pace. These products allow for enhanced accuracy and more functional wear.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Skintight Monitor trend
For consumers, the process of monitoring their health has become exhaustive. Between wearables, clothing and apps, many forms of health-monitoring aren't consistent with the desire for seamless interactions with tech. Thus, consumers are increasingly seeking out forms of personal tracking that don't require constant adjustments or checking.
