Every technology we create is meant to improve our lives in one way or the other. Wearable technology helps us to keep track of the benefits throughout the day. Over the last decade, wearable health technology has become truly intertwined with society as consumers become more health-conscious. Health-oriented wearable gadgets like bracelets and watches come with many monitoring features to help you create goals and improve your fitness. They can track your activity levels, your sleep cycle, and your nutrient intake while checking your progress and making goals.
More to that, most wearable devices connect seamlessly with the wearer’s smartphone via applications, meaning it’s now easier than ever to track your progress at home overtime.
During the COVID-19 quarantine, wearables played a role in keeping people healthy. Not having access to the gym or regular outdoor activities drove many people to be creative in how they have been trying to keep healthy. Wearables have helped keep track of our activity and nudge us not to be trapped in front of a screen for hours.
This technology has advanced the way that patients receive health care today. Perhaps the most significant benefit of today’s newest wearable technology is its ability to provide insight to patients about unknown or undetected medical conditions – specifically those for heart health. Because wearable devices constantly collect data on the person that is wearing it, this data can be put to predictive and preventative use.
