People can now keep tabs on their own health and well-being with the help of wearable technology.
FREMONT, CA: The technology is created with a single goal in mind: to better people's lives. Whether the technology is as simple as a light bulb or as complex as mind-controlled prostheses, the objective of technology is to make life easier, and wearable technology allows people to be aware of these benefits throughout the day. This essay honors wearable technology and discusses how it might help people live a better life.
Wearable Technology Has the Potential to Save Lives: While eating healthy and exercising regularly are critical components of good health, other wearable devices are even more critical and may save a life. For instance, many elderly patients now wear heart monitors and GPS positioning gadgets, which inform carers when something goes wrong or wanders off. Certain wearable Remote Patient Monitoring systems can even notify carers if an individual falls. This technology enables patients to keep their freedom, avoid complications, and save money.
The LifeShirt is another intriguing invention, for example. This gadget is essentially a garment with sensors that monitor vital signs and 30 other critical biometric readings in chronically unwell, aged, cardiac, and other patients with life-threatening illnesses.
Wearable Technology Makes Us More Secure: People are continuously connected to their smartphones nowadays, with the average smartphone user checking their device 34 times each day. With individuals continuously gazing at their smartphones on the go, situations such as walking or driving can become risky.
Rather than that, gadgets such as Bluetooth headsets enable individuals to converse on the phone hands-free while remaining focused on the task at hand. Additionally, modern technology such as Google Glass enables individuals to stay connected to their phone, email, and applications without ever having to take their gaze away from their destination. Using voice instructions rather than hands allows individuals to maintain a safe distance from the road or sidewalk while still absorbing digital information.
Wearable Technology Enhances the Fun Factor: Not only does wearable technology make life easier and enhance health, but it also has the potential to make life more exciting and enjoyable. People already have their fair share of wearable technology to make life more enjoyable, from chilled shirts to color-changing scarves that match any outfit.
