To understand the association between the Health and places a research has been
conducted by Hardy et al. (2018). In the study, a 28 day field is performed, where 21 participants
were tracked by the aid of two tracking devices, location enabled smart phone and GPS watch.
The finding suggests that the use of the smart phone for tracking is easier to handle provides
more efficient data. In the study conducted by Cheng and Mitomo (2017), 647 respondents have
been selected and surveyed. Their response regarding the use and applicability of the smart
wearable devices are recorded and observed from which concludes that the smart wearable
devices is one of the fast growing technology for the disaster application. In another study
conducted by Schwartz, Marlin and Bunescu (2018), the effectiveness of the smart monitoring
devices in the patient suffering from diabetes are evaluated. From the study, it can be concluded
that, the wearable monitoring devices is effective providing benefits such as, improved algorithm
of pump controller, more accurate prediction of blood glucose level and enhanced patient safety.
Rendering to the study conducted by the Tarakci, Kulkarni and Ozdemir (2018), in the health
care system 24 hour monitoring of the patient suffering from chronic illness is required for which
wearable device is provided to the patient. By observing the patient for a given period of time, it
can be concluded that the smart wearable device provides benefit in monitoring the real time and
accurate information, which can be used to deliver restorative treatments to the patient.
According to the research performed by Chen, Zdorova and Nathan-Roberts (2017), wearable
devices helps in the efficient monitoring of the physiological changes in the body, but instated of
that they are not widely used in the healthcare sector. To enhance the use nurse should be
educated about its applicability. Conferring to the study performed by Kerr et al. (2018), regular
consultation with the practitioner for many of the diabetic patient is not possible which increases
the risk of further deterioration. Therefore to avoid such outcomes, non-invasive glucose
