Abstract

We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since technology became integrated into wearable things that can be traced back to the early 1500s. This earliest forms of wearable technology were manifested as pocket watches. Of course technology changed and evolved, but again it might be the watch, now in form of a wrist worn smart watch, that could carve the way towards an always on, large scale, planet spanning, body sensor network. The challenge arises on how to handle this enormous scale of upcoming smart watches and the produced data. This work highlights a strategy on how to make use of the massive amount of smart watches in building goal oriented, dynamically evolving network structures that autonomously adapt to changes in the smart watch ecosystem like cells do in the human organism.
