Usage of wearable Biosensors for a healthy lifestyle is essential these days. These wearables not only let you lead a healthy lifestyle but also assist you in the recognition and treatment of any complex conditions. Wearable Biosensors can remotely monitor a person’s health-related issues and provide up-to-date information on this regards.
According to recent research by scholars at the University of Waterloo, remotely monitoring a patient’s health is really feasible, especially if they are suffering from any complex health conditions. The sensors can provide insights into the varied patterns of health-related behavior and symptoms.
Karen Van Ooteghem, a researcher in Kinesiology and Health Sciences at Waterloo, claims that the mission of their research program is to come up with unique outcomes of the wearables and develop avenues to relay this information to patients and clinicians. Studying the historical record of the patient, his symptoms, and the way they have affected his behavior-pattern greatly assists the medical officer to come up with the right treatment. Also, it helps to monitor the progression of the disease and the symptoms as they occur, the impact of the therapy is done and the outcome obtained so far.
The main benefit of these wearables is that the patient can be monitored in his usual surroundings, because the behavior pattern of the patient may differ in a clinic. Testing has been done with more than thirty participants with cerebrovascular or neurodegenerative diseases. They were made to wear up to five devices on their ankles, wrists, and chest. They did so for a week before visiting the clinic. A study partner was assigned to assist them in any kind of issues that might arise.
All the participants were of the idea that the wearable must be comfortable and easy to use as they are to be worn for long periods of time. And that technology should not interfere with their daily routines. A positive response has been obtained so far by the participants, but scholars think there is still room for improvement.
Wearable devices and biosensors are indeed revolutionizing the field of health, fitness, and medicine. As time goes, we will see more and more people making use of modern devices latest tech gadgets, and wearable Biosensors for a healthy lifestyle and to keep updated about their own health and wellness.
