Wearable health technology: integrating devices and health care systems for better monitoring

Abstract

Wearable health technology has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry by allowing continuous monitoring, timely identification of health problems, and customized treatment. This paper presents a possible integration of wearable technology in a healthcare system, introducing a smartwatch, a fitness tracker, and biosensors in improving patient observation and care. The integrated wearable devices with electronic health records, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics lead toward better decision-making processes, improved patient outcomes, and cost efficiency in health care delivery. While discussing the wireless health technologies, the paper addresses the problems regarding data privacy, interoperability, and patient engagement in the implementation of wearable health technologies.
