AND HEALTH APPS
 WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY
HOW DOES WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY WORK?
Modern wearable technology falls under a broad spectrum of usability,
including smartwatches, fitness trackers such as the Fitbit Charge,
VR headsets, smart jewelry, web-enabled glasses and Bluetooth
headsets. Wearables work differently, based on the category they
belong to, such as health, fitness or entertainment. Predominantly,
wearable technology functions by incorporating microprocessors,
batteries and connectivity to the internet so the collected data can be
synced with other electronics, such as mobile devices or laptops.
HOW DOES WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY WORK?
Wearables are embedded with built-in sensors that keep
track of bodily movements, provide biometric identification or
assist with location tracking. For example, activity trackers or
smartwatches -- the most common types of wearables --
come with a strap that wraps around the user's wrist to
monitor their physical activities or vitals throughout the day.
HOW DOES WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY WORK?
While most wearables are either worn on the body or are
attached to clothing, some function without any physical contact with
the user. Cell phones, smart tags or computers can still be carried
around and track user movements. Other wearables use remote
smart sensors and accelerometers to track movements and speed,
and some use optical sensors for measuring heart rate or glucose
levels. A common factor among these technology wearables is the

CONCLUSION
The integration of IT in healthcare through health informatics
and EHRs, telemedicine and remote health services, and
wearable technology and health apps has significantly
transformed the landscape of modern healthcare. While these
technologies offer numerous benefits in terms of improved
patient care, efficiency, and accessibility, they also pose
challenges such as cost, interoperability, and data privacy that
need to be addressed to maximize their potential. As technology
continues to evolve, the healthcare industry must adapt and
innovate to harness these advancements for the betterment of
