The mental health apps market consists of sales of services provided for mental well-being through apps. Mental health apps are tools that can be used to improve one's well-being, but they are not intended to diagnose conditions or replace therapy. There are many mental health apps available that target different areas, such as relaxation, mood tracking and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies.

Physical objects that can communicate with one another and other systems over the internet are referred to as connected devices.

Additionally, according to Gartner, Inc., a US-based technological research and consulting firm, the amount that end users spent globally on wearable technology in 2021 was $81.5 billion, an increase of 18.1% from $69 billion in 2020.
