'Sub-dermal' smart wearable devices are coming, maybe sooner than you think

When you hear the term 'smart wearables', what do you think of - a FitBit-style fitness-tracking wristband, an Apple Watch or perhaps the newly released Tag Heuer smartphone?

In other words, you're likely thinking of something you wear on your wrist – not in it.

Developers in the wearables industry believe we could be inserting 'sub-dermal' – or under-skin – devices within the next five years.

With the smart wearables market facing a rapidly expanding and technologically advanced future, your next smart device could be closer to you than you think.
