Wearable Technology Report: Problems of Tracking Your Health

This report examines the landscape of wearable technology, focusing on health trackers and their applications. It begins by outlining various types of devices, such as smart bracelets, chest strap monitors, and smart glasses, detailing their functionalities and use of artificial intelligence. The report explores how these devices track health metrics like heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, and how they are utilized to monitor and manage conditions like sleep apnea and cardiovascular health. It also highlights the potential benefits for individuals with visual or hearing impairments. The report then delves into the associated risks and challenges, including the need for device maintenance, software updates, and potential network issues. It emphasizes the importance of data privacy, the potential for misuse of user data, and the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of health-related applications. The report concludes by discussing the role of regulations, the importance of user consent, and the need for vigilance in protecting user data, particularly concerning the distribution of data to third parties.

Wearable Technology
In this smart generation everything process with the smart way. Uses of artificial intelligence in
electronic devices are increasing day by day. There are many health tracker devices available in
the market to keep the track record of the health. These are:-
1. Smart Bracelet –A smart Bracelet is a bracelet works upon artificial intelligence used to
keep track of the patients who are suffering from apnoea. Apnoea is a breathing dis-order
in which the patient pauses breathe while sleeping. Almost six percent of the world
population suffers from these diseases. It calculate the heart rate, respiratory rate and
oxygen saturation and send report to the particular app installed in the smart phone. The
app evaluates and shows the results accordingly, which helps to keep the track of the
sleeping pattern.
2. Chest strap monitors –
Chest strap monitors is like the smart way to check the ECG of the body. One can test by
wearing the chest strap monitor and installing the related app in mobile. This strap
monitors the temperature, respiration rates, blood pressure and pulse of the body and
sends the information to the app which is installed in the smart phone. The application
may directly send the report to doctors was one can analyze the report and take the
necessary steps to maintain the cardiovascular health. It is helpful to the patient having
cardiovascular health issues or to those who are health conscious.
3. Smart Glasses –
It is like a blessing to the people who are blind or having visual related problems and to
those who all are having hearing problems. These smart glasses by installing the
particular app and by wearing the earphone help the disables to feel and to hear like
normal people. User can navigate and can see live video with the help of these glasses.
Sensors measures and keep the track record of the movement of the body.
There are positive and negative responses about the smart health devices. By wearing the
smart health device few of the things have to keep it in mind such as like whether the device
is in good condition or not. Devices works on batteries, so regular check is also necessary.
The application installed in smartphone is genuine or not. Keeping the application up to date

is also very important because the related companies keeps fixes and upgrade their bug in the
applications in order to provide more accurate results. Other few of the problems faced with
the smart devices are like while sending report directly to the doctor. Reports may not send
due to network error. The problem may be of the device is sending false report because may
be the device is malfunction or the application is not updated.
Using health care device and the applications as per regulations will make no violation to the
law which is also depend upon the related companies which follows some terms and policies
which the users also have to obey. There will be no legal issues if the application and devices
are properly designed and be cleared all the terms and conditions of the laws. Some
applications use user data and distribute it to the third party for advertising purpose or for
their business purpose. Such activities by the companies should be strictly put under regular
surveillance. Violation of copyrights, distribution of user privacy will not be tolerated by any
law abiding society. Every electronic device comes with certain limitations and requirements.
Health care applications related to any company have their own set of rules and regulations.
By installing the application each app requires permission to access details from user’s
smartphone. If allowed these details may access user personal data may be photos, videos,
media, social sites comments etc. A blind trust to these applications is still a matter of
concern as many of social media companies, electronics companies charged heavy fine for
violation of law of privacy. A trust worthy report reviewed three regional health agency in
New Zealand and they are satisfied with their clinical which obeys the Health Information
privacy Code (HIPC).
It is now impossible to think life without electronics gadgets as if we are living in this
generation of society.
As per of smart health tracking watches it is equipped with GPS tracker so as to track
the daily activities of the human body. It comes with different types of sensors so as
to keep track of the pulses, heart rate, blood pressure etc. In-order to take accurate
data user have to maintain and handle the devices carefully as for example batteries
should be checked regularly like leakage, power, proper network connection is also
required. Beyond all this it is found that due to miss-handling the device and elsewise

show inappropriate result and inaccurate. Now companies are trying to make more
accurate and reliable products. Doctors’ advice and concern should be strictly
followed by the user if the user is a patient.
