At the most recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), professionals claimed that “just around the corner are wearables…made from materials that aren’t even in our vocabulary yet.” Experts at the World Economic Forum in Davos claim the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which fuses the biological, physical, and digital worlds, is impacting economies and industries while “challenging ideas about what it means to be human.” Embodied biotechnologies (biowear) promise exciting possibilities for engaging biofluids, biological processes, and bodies in novel ways, while also bringing unprecedented levels of invasive data gathering and reporting bodily states in real time. Little is known, however, about these innovations’ socio-technical impacts. Critical studies of less invasive and limited forms of electronic wearable tech (such as fitness trackers, responsive clothing, and computerized biosensors) have documented problems with human data protection, a lack of diversity in design settings leading to biased or discriminatory design, and issues with commercial power dynamics forcing normalization of technologies that do not serve consumers.  Despite these clearly documented issues, there is no study of how these biases and consumer vulnerabilities within the ecosystem of wearable tech are affecting the development of embodied biotech. Data is urgently needed to find out how this new wave of innovation can avoid the problematic practices currently dominating the field in which biowear is developing.
