WristSense: Unveiling the Potential of Wrist-Wear Devices Digital Forensics

The dataset to be published was generated through exploratory case studies conducted on wrist-worn devices from three vendors: Huawei, Amazfit, and Xiaomi. The specific devices investigated include the Huawei Fit 2 Smartwatch and Band 7, Amazfit Band 7, and Xiaomi Watch 3. These devices operate on different operating systems, namely Android Wear, Zepp OS, and Wear OS.The data collection period for each device varies, with Huawei having approximately one year of data collected, while the other devices have shorter durations. All wrist-wear devices from different vendors were connected to an iPhone 11 mobile device, which acted as the host device. The iPhone facilitated data synchronization and provided access to the data through the respective health applications provided by the vendors.To extract the data, MD-NEXT was employed, and the extracted data was further analyzed using the MD-RED tool. These tools were chosen due to their recognized forensically sound capabilities. As a result, the dataset contains data that is considered suitable for use in digital forensics fields.Overall, the dataset provides valuable information obtained from wrist-worn devices, covering multiple vendors, operating systems, and data collection periods. Researchers in the digital forensics field can utilize this dataset for various investigative and analytical purposes.
