The safety of On/In Body Device-Type Wearables is being evaluated from various aspects, and safety continues to improve through ongoing research and development.

First, examining the safety of body contact, modern wearable devices use materials that have undergone rigorous biocompatibility testing. Hypoallergenic materials and medical-grade metals are used to minimize skin irritation, and devices are designed to be harmless even with prolonged wear. In particular, implantable devices use only biocompatible materials certified by international medical device standards such as FDA or CE to minimize body rejection.

In terms of electromagnetic wave safety, most wearable devices are designed to comply with international electromagnetic exposure standards. They use low-power Bluetooth or optimized wireless communication technology to minimize electromagnetic emissions, and regular safety tests assess and manage risks associated with long-term use.

Regarding data security, the latest encryption technologies and security protocols are applied to protect users’ personal and biometric information. Medical wearable devices, in particular, comply with medical information protection regulations like HIPAA and respond to new security threats through regular security updates.

For physical safety, devices obtain international standard certifications for water resistance, dust resistance, and durability to ensure safety in everyday use environments. They also incorporate various safety features such as overheat prevention systems and automatic power-off functions to prevent accidents.

Medical wearable devices are verified for effectiveness and safety through clinical trials. Critical medical devices like pacemakers and insulin pumps have proven safety based on years of clinical data, with continuous monitoring and improvements being made.

User education and support also consider safety aspects. Manufacturers provide detailed user manuals and safety guidelines, and offer professional customer support to help ensure safe use. They also provide regular inspection and maintenance services to guarantee long-term safety.

However, despite these safety assurance efforts, unexpected issues may arise depending on individual characteristics and usage environments. Therefore, users must choose appropriate products considering their health conditions and characteristics, follow manufacturer safety guidelines, and maintain safe use through regular checks and immediate response to any abnormal signs.

In terms of regulatory compliance and certifications, these devices must meet strict international safety standards and undergo regular testing and certification processes. This includes electromagnetic compatibility testing, biocompatibility assessments, and various safety certifications required for medical devices.

Overall, On/In Body Device-Type Wearables have achieved a high level of safety through strict safety standards and continuous improvement efforts. They are expected to develop into even safer products through new technologies and research in the future. The industry’s commitment to safety, combined with regulatory oversight and technological advancement, continues to enhance the reliability and safety of these devices for users worldwide.

Nevertheless, it’s important to maintain ongoing vigilance and research as new technologies emerge and long-term effects become better understood. The balance between innovation and safety remains a crucial consideration in the development and implementation of wearable technology.

I read your post, and you wrote quite a bit about the safety of OnBody/InBody wearables. But are these devices really safe from electromagnetic waves, even if you wear them all day?

So, the InBody devices that are directly inserted into the body won’t cause skin or organ rejection?

To minimize adverse reactions, we only use biocompatible materials that have received international medical device certification. For example, medical-grade titanium or hypoallergenic polymers.
