Abstract
Chronic conditions in pediatric populations present significant challenges for families, healthcare providers, and policymakers. The emergence of wearable technology as a tool for continuous monitoring and management of these conditions has revolutionized pediatric healthcare. Wearable devices provide real-time data, facilitate early detection of potential complications, and empower families to engage in proactive disease management. This comprehensive review examines the applications of wearable technology in managing chronic pediatric conditions such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and cardiovascular disorders. It also explores the benefits, challenges, and future potential of wearable devices in pediatric healthcare. The article emphasizes the need for innovations that address challenges in accessibility, usability, and data security to fully integrate wearable technology into pediatric care.
