Wearables to help and save patients

The advancement of technology has led us to a new way of supervising our own health, it is "wearable technology", and over the last five years it has become increasingly common. Not only do sport professionals use it to track their health , but also ordinary people and people with many types of disabilities. Some of these light-weight machines are also quite affordable, for instance, you can find watches with many useful functions for prices of around 30 euros.

These watches have many options which allow you to keep an eye on your heart rate (that helps you detect any kind of irregularities), they also count your steps while walking and motivate you to be more active in order to prevent a sedentary lifestyle, and they track your sleep. Furthermore they analyze all the data and give you feedback every day about your activity and overall health.

Moreover, this tech has many more uses, these little clocks can be highly useful for people with Alzheimer, as they can set alarms with the certainty that they'll see them everyday ,as they'd be wearing it. Also other kinds of wearable devices like sensors which can help people who suffer a stroke recover more rapidly, or clothing which can detect changes in cellular temperature to detect tumors earlier.

To sum up, technology is taking a major role in health, it cannot only help us to recover from a disease but also prevent us from it.
