A wearable device is a technology that is worn on the human body. A wearable device is often used for tracking a user's vital signs or pieces of data related to health and fitness, location, or even his/her emotions. Wearable device models may rely on short-range wireless systems such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi setups. Wearable devices are also known as wearable gadgets, wearable technology or simply wearables.

A digital native is an individual who was born after the widespread adoption of digital technology. The term digital native doesn't refer to a particular generation. Instead, it is a catch-all category for children who have grown up using technology like the Internet, computers and mobile devices. This exposure to technology in the early years is believed to give digital natives a greater familiarity with and understanding of technology than people who were born before it was widespread.
