Introduction
The human race is driven by technology and innovation since time immemorial. The UK
National Health service (NHS) is one of the most prestigious health care bodies in the world
recognized for its care and remarkable strength and efficiency when it comes to competing with
international standards (Ford et al. 2019). With rising and ageing population, NHS faces
alarming challenges like the prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes which has absorbed
most of the NHS budget due to rise in costs and shortage of funds and budgets. Further survey
shows that councils in England receive almost five thousand requests for social health care every
day (Curtis and Burns 2015).
Q1. Discuss and evaluate characteristics of GO2SLEEP as an innovation.
Utility: GO2SLEEP is a small ring like device that has advanced technological sensors that can
monitor various health conditions. It is a ring-like device that slides easily through one’s finger
and is padded with different kinds of sensors which examines the pulse rate, breathing rate and
many other things. The sensors transfer their data to the consumer’s phone through a phone app
build by the developers of the gadget. It is mainly related to monitoring sleep quality and
gradually improving it. The device has incredible performance features as it works for three
consecutive nights on full charge, which takes about two hours only. The device is designed to
round up accurate data from the fingertips where more capillaries are found. It also comes with a
vibration alert. This alert helps in switching sleeping positions unconsciously which diminishes
the chances of sleep apnea. With reports and recommendations waiting for you in the morning,
the application also gives the ability to the consumers to connect with their loved ones and keep
a track of their sleep quality through social connecting accounts provided by the application.
This innovative gadget is an efficient way to monitor and diagnose sleep problems and should be
helpful to most of the population, as nearly 1.5 million suffer from sleep disorders (Gregory and
Sadeh 2016). With astounding user friendly features GO2SLEEP will surely be one of the most
recommended medical gadgets in our area’s population. People are surely to benefit from it. This
archetype should be a successful model for medical gadget practitioners as it is extremely
comforting and easy to use and maintain.
