Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Should I use a smartwatch to track my health data? A doctor explains
With a smartwatch, you can text messages, listen to music, alarm the
time, answer calls, and check the weather conditions. Also, you can monitor your
health conditions, such as temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood
oxygen level. In addition, you can track your exercise level, including how many
steps you’ve walked, how many calories you’ve burned, and how long and fast you’ve
run. The question is how well you can make use of the information shown on your
smartwatch to improve your productivity, health conditions, and fitness level. For
example, if you set a goal to walk 10,000 steps each day, a smartwatch may help
you encourage to reach the goal. However, since smartwatches don’t have the
same accuracy as medical-grade equipment, they shouldn't be used for medical
purposes. Use your smartwatch wisely, and you’ll get the most benefits from it.
Read the article and learn about how smartwatches could help our health
and well-being.
