Wearable technologies will see a boost in 2016, which will help develop the Internet of Things, said Bogdan Georgescu, Intel Channel Account Manager for Romania and Bulgaria.

Eastern Europe is not a well-known market for early adopters, but wearable technologies have development potential, Georgescu added, cited by local Wall-street.ro.

Intel, the largest microprocessor producer worldwide, has introduced on the local market a new smartphone, which can monitor physical activity. It also presented headphones which can monitor the heartbeat and don’t need batteries.

The Internet of Things includes a scenario in which humans can transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-computer interaction.
