Bill Gates argues that human life expectancy has increased in the last several decades and that we are witnessing a shift from “life quantity” to “life quality”. He adds that because of our longevity, people are concentrating now more on well-being than ever before. A lot of people do not subscribe to Bill Gates’ positive outlook. That’s why we decided to have a glimpse of what health and wellness technology is already doing for you today.
What are the main causes of death in America?
Heart disease and cancer are responsible for 44.3% of all death cases across the United States. Even though life expectancy is currently 78.81 years, we still suffer from various illnesses that prevent us from having a decent quality of life. This is when health and wellness technology comes to the rescue.
How can wellness tech help you to reduce health risks at work?
Wellness tech can be represented in an array of ways, form a wearable health and wellness technology, like Apple Watch, Wear OS by Google, and a mobile app. A holistic wellness platform combines a comprehensive set of data generated from multiple sources like health records, fitness trackers, mobile applications, and manually input information. Such a platform helps you assess the overall state of health, predict disease risks, ensure good well-being, and even produce specific recommendations tailored to you.
How can you apply technology to improve personal performance, health and fitness?
You can use plenty of mobile apps, health, and wellness gadgets, which are available online and in brick-and-mortar stores. For example, Flaredown is an app that helps its users track health issues, always keep an eye on varied symptoms, and manage chronic illnesses. The app was featured at Forbes as one of the seven health technologies to watch for in the future.
Using wearable technology to promote physical activity can be a major lifesaver. A sedentary way of life is a major contributor to heart disease, depression, colon cancer, obesity, and other illnesses. Wearable technology and mobiles can also give you signs, like vibration or beeping, to let you know that it’s time for you to have some physical activity.
Most of the time, our fast-paced lifestyle and junk food are a major stopper on our way of eating healthy. If we want to have sound health, we need to track calories to watch our weight. “One size fits all” just doesn’t work for everyone as people want to reach different goals. One such app that promotes an active way of life and healthy eating is Nutralete.
There are many apps and tech wearables in the sea that will help you to keep fit, eat healthy food, and maintain physical and mental well-being. Wellness tech and innovative health technology can influence our lives and reduce the risks of getting heart disease, diabetes, and many others. Even today, we have lots of mobile apps and wearable tech devices that are helping us to live longer as well as improve the quality of our lives.
