Wearables
Wearables are small electronic devices you can wear on your body, like smartwatches or fitness trackers. They can monitor your health, track your activity, and even help you stay connected.
Examples:
- Oura: Oura produces a smart ring that tracks sleep patterns, activity levels, heart rate variability, and body temperature. The ring provides insights into sleep quality, recovery, and overall health, helping users make informed decisions to improve their well-being.
- FreeStyle Libre: FreeStyle Libre is a CGM system with a wearable sensor and reader device. Worn on the upper arm, it tracks glucose levels continuously, eliminating the need for fingerstick tests. This technology is crucial for diabetic patients, providing real-time insights into glucose levels, enhancing management and control.
- Avertto: Avertto employs wearable technology to address stroke prevention and early intervention. Given the significant impact of strokes on disability and mortality, Avertto's system monitors real-time blood flow to the brain and can detectin changes and issuing early alerts and treatment, potentially preventing stroke damage and enhancing patient outcomes.
