4 Smart products that will revolutionize the health industry

We’ve come a long way since manual blood pressure monitors. Now, most people and health facilities use a digital blood pressure monitor that can give you accurate results in a matter of minutes.

To top that, wearable devices like smartwatches can check your pulse reading on the go.

Looking into the future, the intersection between health and technology should be captivating offering benefits to both patients and health workers.

In this post, we’ll look at four smart products that are impacting the health industry for good.

Smart Toilet

At CES 2023, tech company, Withings unveiled a product that could perform urinalysis from the comfort of your home.

Urine is a major indicator of several metabolic activities withing the body. For instance, people with diabetes may have high urine glucose levels and kidney diseases can present with high proteins.

The device can run a thorough tests on your urine and help you identify illnesses as well as your hydration status.

The best part is that you can install the device in your toilet, so while you normally ‘take a pee’ you can have your urine sampled and tested.

Data from this device can be synced with an app on your mobile phone for the results to be interpreted.

Smart Suits

Exoskeleton suits will be of immense benefit to workers who do heavy lifting in factories and packaging units.

These real-life ‘ironman suits’ as I’d like to call them help with weight distribution and decrease strain by reducing the load of weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips and back.

Workers who have access to this tech can minimize long-term injury to the joints and muscles.

Smart suits can also be employed in health facilities to help patients who undergo rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Smart bed

A good night’s rest is largely dependent on a good bed.

The ErgoSportive is an example of smart bed frame that uses technology to monitor your sleep activities and provide feedback to help you optimize your sleep and recovery.

The bed is made of flexible material which can be modified to change the shape of the bed depending on your preferred position.

Also, it can deliver soothing vibrations to help you relax.

Aside from these, the ErgoSportive bed can automatically adjust its position to prevent snoring and enhance sleep quality.

An ergonomic smart bed will be a great investment for people who want to get better sleep. These types of beds can provide more support and comfort than a traditional bed.

Smart brush

At the Consumer Electronics Show this year, Smartooth unveiled a dental care device that you can use at home to detect tooth decay without having to go to the dentist.

Smartooth is a dental monitoring device that uses a disposable probe and a light sensor to increase the accuracy of cavity detection.

The device can identify tooth decay with as much accuracy as an X-ray. Once used, the data obtained can be synced with an app and shared with a dentist if further medical attention is needed.

As chronic diseases become more common and products like these offer you a way to take control of your health and become more proactive.

A device as portable as this can help in the early detection of dental cavities before they worsen.
