As wearables continue to explode, the discussion of practical applications for wearables within businesses becomes more and more important.

Now, according to a report from Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com), the U.S. Enterprise Wearables market is expected to reach US$8.5 billion by 2020, with growth driven by key industries such as medical, industrial, energy and field services.
