The Outbreak of COVID-19 Has Increased the Use of Wearable Technology (Devices)

 

Wearable Technology

Wearable Technology is any kind of electronic device designed to be worn on the user's body. Such devices can take many different forms, including medical devices, accessories, jewelry, clothing, and more. Wearable technology or also called wearables, are smart electronic devices that are worn close to or above the surface of the skin, in which they can detect, analyze, and transmit information about the body, such as vital signs. Wearable technology, or wearables, is a category of electronic devices that can be implanted into the body, embedded in clothing, worn as accessories, or even tattooed on the skin.

Wearable Technology has many uses, including chronic disease management, health and fitness tracking, interactive gaming, navigation tracking, and performance monitoring. Some common examples of wearable technology include fitness trackers, smart clothing, smart jewelry, body-mounted sensors, VR headsets, augmented reality (AR) headsets, and AI hearing aids. While the most popular current & next-generation applications of wearable technology include health monitoring, epidermal skin technology, fashion and smart clothing, entertainment and gaming, sports and fitness, and military, among others.

Wearable Technology provides people with the ability to monitor their fitness levels, track the location with GPS, and view text messages more quickly. Best of all, most of the devices that allow people to do this are hands free and portable, eliminating the need to take their devices out of their pockets. Moreover, the outbreak of COVID-19 has increased the use of wearable technology, due to increase in awareness among people about the personal hygiene and taking precautions to prevent the spread of infections. COVID-19 has accelerated health and fitness app development by integrating wearable technology.

According to the report published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research by Mount Sinai Health System (US) researchers, wearable devices can identify COVID-19 cases earlier than traditional diagnostic methods and can help track and improve management of the disease.

Air Purifier works as a Sanitizer in the air which helps in reducing pollutants, allergens, and toxins

Image
  Air purifier   Within a confined area, an air purifier eliminates organic and inorganic impurities from the air. The clean air is sent out into the living space after these devices catch pollutants and particles in the air. Dust mites, mould spores, chemicals, poisons, and scents are all trapped by these filters. These gadgets are frequently touted as appropriate tools for asthmatic patients and others who suffer from airborne allergen allergies. An indoor Air purifier ensures the filtering of the air inside a closed room, which it catches and releases as clean air. If the windows may be opened, it functions in addition to the necessary natural ventilation. A contrast must be noted between a professional model and a residential device, since neither provides the same level of air treatment or overall performance. Pollens, fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), viruses, and germs are all effectively removed by a professional air purifier with a HEPA 13 or

Polyethylene Terephthalate Is A Non-Toxic Plastic, Mostly Used For Manufacturing Medical Devices

Image
  Polyethylene Terephthalate Polyethylene Terephthalate is an extremely common plastic. It is used in water bottles, clothing, baby wipes and many other items. The material is also a major component of many textiles. It can be melted or injected into molds to create a variety of shapes. It can also be used as a thin film that can protect products from light, heat and moisture. The material is a linear thermoplastic composed of repeating units of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It can be spun into fibers for synthetic fabrics, formed into containers for liquids and food, thermoformed into manufacturing parts, or combined with glass fiber to make engineering resins. Polyethylene Terephthalate is the most common plastic of the polyester family and is one of the most widely-used materials in the world. It is a strong, stiff plastic with good electrical insulating properties and excellent mechanical strength, transparency, gas barrier properties and stability over a wide temperat

With the use of High-Frequency alternating current, Radiofrequency Ablation Device convert Electromagnetic Energy into Heat Energy

Image
Radiofrequency Ablation Device RFA is a minimally invasive technique that may be done in a doctor's office or a hospital. The majority of patients are able to return home the same day. RFA can be done with or without minimal sedation. If anaesthesia is utilised, the patient is generally kept awake and alert enough to explain what they are feeling during the nerve stimulation and lesioning. The following are the steps involved in an RFA: ·         On a procedure table, the patient is lying on his or her stomach. An intravenous (IV) line is established if sedation is utilised so that relaxation medication (sedation) can be administered. ·         To reduce the danger of infection, the skin above the treatment region (neck, mid-back, or low back) is thoroughly washed. ·         A numbing drug (anaesthetic) is injected into the location of the RFA injection site to numb a small patch of skin. Radiofrequency ablation is a process that is reasonably safe and low-risk. Some pati
