The field of wearable technology and data-driven insights is rapidly evolving, with a focus on improving emergency response and education. Recent developments have centered around the creation of novel datasets and wearable devices that can provide critical support in emergency scenarios and inform institutional policies in educational settings. Noteworthy papers in this area include:

• MakOne, a multimodal dataset collected from university students in Uganda, offering a unique perspective on student behavior in an African context.
• The KIRETT project, which has developed a wearable device to support rescue operations using artificial intelligence and vital signs data.
• A large-scale international study on user preferences for wearable device placement, providing practical guidelines for sensor placement and design.
• A security and privacy analysis of Tile's location tracking protocol, highlighting vulnerabilities and design flaws in the system.
