Yes, oh well, there is also a beautiful thing, and on the other hand at the beginning they wanted to compete with the watches by making it a partner of the mobile phone. Yet today, a smartwatch saves your life, and it is this mix between accessible luxury, technology and well -being that eventually made it an object that put something that we struggle to do without it. And that he also puts us in line, since he has become our personal coach. All the fault (or merit) of Apple, in short: when in 2014 the first Apple Watch came out to keep the iPhone company, few would have thought of such a transformation. It was not just a matter of calling: smart watches quickly became increasingly sophisticated tools for monitoring fitness and health, becoming precious allies for daily control of physical and even mental condition.
And therefore: at the beginning, smartwatches were mainly equipped with basic functions such as counterpass, the detection of calories burned and the control of music. The goal was more than anything else to encourage movement and integrate the notifications of the smartphone on the wrist. However, with the progress of sensor technology and data processing, a new phase has begun: that of continuous and personalized health monitoring. As early as 2015, products such as Apple Watch and Fitbit have introduced sensors for the optical heart rate, opening the way to a more precise reading of physical activities and the study of the beat even at rest. Shortly thereafter, features such as sleep tracking, stress monitoring and measurement of the saturation of oxygen in the blood came (remember the Covid period?). It was the change of pace: several companies have convinced themselves in the market, the prices of the models have become more accessible and many smart watches today are able to even make you a precise and medical point of view from a medical point of view to hunt, above all, of the atrial fibrillation. A silent killer that was partly defeated thanks to technological prevention.
In practice: heart and respiratory problems are now more easily addressed thanks to advanced studies, such as those that are carried out in the Huawei Health Lab in Dongeguan, China, where every day level athletes are tested under effort in different disciplines to understand how to continuously and more precisely update the data collection. To this is added, in some cases, the monitoring of breathing and variability of the heart rate, useful for evaluating the level of stress and physical recovery (Garmin Fenix, to say). And, in any case, also the well -being of the mind – with the recommended Mindfulness exercises – are now behind wrist, as well as monitoring the female cycle or the detection of the skin temperature.
Science fiction that has become reality in just a few years, and the work continues: the control of blood pressure is already current, while the next step – Acui is working incessantly – is the control of the level of glucose in the blood, which in short is a great goal to help those suffering from diabetes. Then, yes, they are also beautiful. And for this the smartwatches are for men, and women, of pulse.
