It's all about usability and electronics
However, developing wearables and other connected health devices comes with various design and engineering challenges regarding connectivity, ergonomics, durability, and of course usability. For example: power consumption since the health devices must last a long time, use of the right materials, building the device in the right size and weight for ease of use, ability to connect to wifi and/or Bluetooth, important mechanical restrictions that require small components on very compact PCB’s, etc.
