Section 1:Introduction of Wearable Technology

 

  1. Identify the wearable technology you selected, including the brand name. Paraphrase and cite the source from the internet.

I chose electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors from MediBioSense’s MBS HealthStream brand as wearable gear; our smartwatches can detect abnormalities in ECG rhythms (Sarafan et al.,2021)

 

 

  1. Discuss the intended purpose of the selected wearable technology. Paraphrase and cite the source.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor is a piece of wearable electronics that can monitor your heart’s electrical activity for a long time. This technique may be used to monitor and evaluate atrial fibrillation and other irregular cardiac rhythms (Huhn et al.,2022) Arrhythmia is a recognized precursor of stroke, and this gadget may detect indicators of it.

 

  1. Explain how the selected wearable technology promotes self-care and/or illness management.

People may take charge of their heart health by constantly monitoring their vital signs using electrocardiogram (ECG) wearable equipment. This enables the early diagnosis of potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Wearable equipment not only keeps tabs on stats but also encourages people to lead healthier lives………………..KINDLY CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO ACCESS THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT FOR $12
