There are several health-related technologies that can be useful in our everyday life: here are some tips on the best devices.
Caring for ourselves and our health is an essential prerogative. Today, the combination between health and new technologies has led to developing smart systems that can constantly and effectively monitor patients’ health conditions. What are the best smart health-related technologies to use inside and outside your home?
Health and new technologies, the most popular devices
You will surely have a thermometer in your home. But have you ever heard about a Bluetooth thermometer? There are several models on the market that use Bluetooth technology to connect via app and show you your temperature directly on your smartphone.
Other smart health devices include wireless glucometers and smart cholesterol monitors. The first offer a little-invasive system and indicative data on your health status, while the monitor measures the levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. Among wearable health technologies, there are also devices that are fastened to your clothes and back and help you correct your posture. There are smart devices that send sound, light or vibration warnings, every time the wearer takes on an incorrect position, and devices that provide tips on targeted pain-relieving workouts.
Other sensor-based health applications
Internet of Things and smartphone-biosensor connection are increasingly paving the road to a smart medical home, a domestic environment where people – through floor and wearable sensors, cameras, infra-red devices – can constantly monitor their physical health.
Among IoT sensors for home medicine, there are those placed between the mattress and the sheets: they automatically register your sleep data and send them to an app on your smartphone via Bluetooth.
Among the best health technologies for your home, there is also the smart purifier, the perfect ally to tackle seasonal allergies and have clean air in your home. By connecting the purifier to the hOn app, you can create your allergen profile; this way, the purifier will activate automatically when it detects a high percentage of particles to which a member of the family is sensitive. It will not just capture the pollens, it will also eliminate them. Smart air quality sensors monitor indoor air and activate air purification automatically. They work in real time to detect and remove any pollutants from the air, including ultrafine particles, pollens, pores and bacteria.
Through the hOn app, apart from being updated on your indoor air quality in real time, you will also receive useful information on outdoor air, such as the pollen and pollution levels.In addition, the air purifier, thanks to the CO Sensor, can detect also any harmful gas in your home and warn you via app or via a buzzer.
In short, health technologies can improve your life quality.
