Abstract

With the introduction of Health 4.0 we face a new era in healthcare and notice the disruption of delivery, adoption and use through newly
introduced technology. Wearables have become increasingly important in the medical sector and their remote application and widespread use are
significant to the development of technology in healthcare today and the future. The implementation of wearables requires regulations and clinical
approval when intended to use for health tracking and monitoring. Within this process designers play a crucial role. Design methodologies are
the guideline to accomplish a successful path towards the creation of a new product. In this paper the authors explore and draw from established
design methodologies to support the creation of a framework for design of wearables in a health 4.0 context. Identifying the positions of design
practices and analyzing the correlations in the context of Health 4.0 is therefore presented within this paper.
