Smartwatches can be helpful for early warnings, but I wouldnât rely on them completely. Great for alertsâmedical advice still comes first!
We should be aware of new updates in the technology, how to use them effectively for our benefits and also able to diagnose ourselves if any abnormal symptoms are bothering us about our health.
Electronic equipment that saves someoneâs life are always useful but it doesnât mean we totally depends on it. If device gives any update about health related issue generally we need to visit health practitioners to clear the doubts.
Depending fully on a smartwatch for health is not safe.
It gives updates, not expert advice.
A wearable device can be defined as a mobile electronic device worn as an accessory or unobtrusively embedded in the userâs clothing.Generally, wearable devices adopt the technologies of sophisticated biosensors and wireless data communication that allow the wearer to access and transmit information in all sectors of human endeavor.
I do not really depend on it. I just use it to track my steps and check my heart rate.
Our smart watches cannot substitute our doctors but they are useful in quick warnings in time and real time health monitoring. They increase awareness and act as an intervention, effective preventable tools.
Smart watch is useful in initial diagnosis but after this a doctorâs visit is necessary and even if there are symptoms of a particular condition felt by us we should not rely on an indication from the smart watch we should immediately seek a doctorâs attention. Also, as smart watches are useful in initial diagnosis it should be made affordable and schemes should be implemented so that most of the people can avail it for free. This will increase the positive impact of smart watches on the entire population.
