Ubuchwepheshe obugqokile, ogqokayo, ubuchwepheshe bemfashini, ubuciko bezinto zobuchwepheshe, noma imishini yama-elekthronikhi ngamadivayisi we-elekthronikhi smart (idivaysi ye-elekthronikhi ene-micro-controlers) egqoke eduze noma / noma ebusweni besikhumba, lapho bethola khona, bahlaziye, futhi bedlulise imininingwane mayelana isib amasignali womzimba anjengezimpawu ezibalulekile, kanye / noma idatha esetshenziswayo futhi evumela kwezinye izimo ngokushesha i-biofeedback kulowo ogqokile Amadivayisi agqokiwe njengama-trackers womsebenzi ayisibonelo se-Intanethi Yezinto, ngoba "izinto" ezifana ne-elekthronikhi, isoftware, izinzwa, nokuxhumeka ziyizisebenzi ezinika amandla izinto ukushintshanisa idatha (kufaka phakathi ikhwalithi yedatha ) nge-inthanethi nge-inthanethi umenzi, opharetha, kanye / noma amanye amadivayisi axhunyiwe, ngaphandle kokudinga ukungenelela komuntu. Ubuchwepheshe obugqokiwe bunezicelo ezahlukahlukene ezikhula njengoba insimu ngokwayo inwebeka. Kubonakala ngokugqamile kuma-elekthronikhi abathengi ngokuthandwa kwe-smartwatch kanye ne-tracker yomsebenzi. Ngaphandle kokusetshenziswa kwezentengiso, ubuchwepheshe obugqokile bufakwa ezinhlelweni zokuhamba, izindwangu ezisezingeni eliphakeme nokunakekelwa kwempilo. Umlando wangaphambi kobuchwepheshe obambekayo uqala ngewashi, ebeligqokwa ngabantu ukutshela isikhathi. Ngo-1500 umsunguli waseJalimane uPeter Henlein wenza amawashi amancane ayegqokwa njengemigexo. Ngemuva kwekhulu leminyaka, amadoda aqala ukuphatha amawashi awo emaphaketheni awo njengoba okhalweni kwaba yinto yemfashini, okwaholela ekwakhiweni kwamawashi ephakeji.
