Life is meant to be lived and not stressed upon. Do you believe that? Then this article is going to help you augment your perspective and live a comfortable and stress-free life. Ensuring body and mind wellness is our primary motive. We always strive to obtain peace, good health, and happiness.
Technology has helped us realize that these three concepts somehow overlap each with other and help with the achievement. From helping us sleep better to ensuring that we are always aware of our vitals to shielding the house from external physical and cyber attacks, technology creates an integrated environment of complete safety, security, peace, and wellness.
So, here are the top wellness technologies that are essential for every modern household.
Types of Technological Innovations
01. Smart Mattresses
A good night’s sleep rejuvenates not only the body but also the mind. Remember, how a boss pokes an employee asking, “Did you not get enough sleep last night.”
Well, it is apparent that sleep is also vital for optimal cognitive thinking. Smart mattresses are built to augment your daily sleep experience by tracking the vital factors and bio-signals of better sleep.
These are things like heart rate, duration of sleep, intensity, and light. These things are directly related to your sleep. Such smart mattresses are embedded with smart sensors that also track the vitals of the room like temperature, humidity, and bed temperature. Everything is sent to the mobile application connected to the mattress from where you can change the sleep pattern for effective results.
02. Indoor Air Quality Equipment
We all are well aware of the indoor air purifiers, and most of us may even have bought them. But, these purifiers will work best if you can augment them with indoor air quality sensors.
Such sensors track the indoor air quality, humidity, room temperature, and noise levels. Therefore, you will be getting a comprehensive analytical report about the house. The best part is that these sensors are attached to a mobile application, and from here, you can get suggestions to improve the indoor environment.
Regular measurement of indoor air quality and comfort levels enables the exact setting of the indoor climate. It reduces the risk of illness.
Additionally, we do have published a detailed blog to improve the air quality in homes.
03. Smart Thermometers
It may seem that a thermometer can enhance your lifestyle and lead to a better and healthy environment. Well, wait till you read this.
Smart thermometers are not only suitable for measuring body temperature, but they are integrated with other sorts of sensors that measure the changing body symptoms.
A smart thermometer is a medical thermometer that transmits its readings so that they are collected, stored, and analyzed. Plus, you can also connect the thermometer with a mobile application which can keep a medical record of the family members. The proactive approach of smart thermometers helps take preventive measures.
04. Tech-Savvy Exercising and Body Maintenance Equipment
Smart scales are the next best alternative to fitness trainers as they capture the body data to analyze the major bio-indicators like weight, BMI, and heat maps. This data is transferred to the central server of the provider and then retrieved to the user’s mobile for better visibility.
More advanced tools and technologies help provide active feedback to the user and help them maintain better health with effective reporting.
According to Sarah Mitroff (Published in Health and Wellness), the smart scale helps to measure not only weight and BMI but also body fat, body water, muscle mass and bone mass. Additionally, it offers accurate charts which help us to track weight loss and other data over a week, a month and a year.
05. Smart Water Bottles
Wellness relates to everything that we eat or drink and drinking safe and healthy water is one of the best things for your body. Smart water bottles provide temperature control, and they have in-built filters to keep the water always clean and bacteria-free.
According to Reader’s Digest (Published in 10 Smart water bottles that are worth the money), smart water bottles are a lot healthier. They track your water intake and also synchronize with a mobile phone app which keeps your body hydrated. It helps you to be updated in real-time, and chart your goals.
The on-the-go water purifiers give you the freedom to get water from any source without thinking about water quality and safety. Plus, they are portable water bottles, meaning that you can carry them wherever you want.
06. Adaptive Pillows
Smart pillows complement the benefits provided by the smart mattresses and ensure better sleep plus health. These smart pillows can be kept under the neck, or you can cuddle them where they read the body signals and bio indicators.
These pillows adapt to your sleeping pattern and help improve the overall sleeping experience gradually by reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Cuddling is a basic human activity or emotion that this smart pillow can also be used to cuddle or hold tight against the body, which only helps get you to sleep better by measuring the body’s metrics.
Accrding to Andrew Heinzman (Published in What on Earth Is a Smart Pillow?) A smart pillow improves the quality of your sleep by reducing snoring and personalizing sleep playlists. Additionally, a smart pillow also tracks, records, and rates the quality of your sleep.
07. E-toothbrushes and Smart Bathtubs
After covering the home and sleep essentials, let’s also discuss the bathroom technologies that augment your effort towards better health. Smart or e-toothbrushes allow setting effective toothbrush patterns and also keep a log of the frequency and duration of brushing.
Smart bathtubs are not very specific to enhancing a healthy lifestyle; they look cool and are a fantastic piece of technology. Plus, they have in-built Bluetooth speakers, and the sound emerging from the speakers creates ripples in the water. How awesome is that?
A smart WC is an interesting and a useful smart invention that is designed for any user to activate and adjust the cleaning and drying functions. The toilet includes an additional side panel which allows in controlling the basic functions without having to use the remote control. Each toilet has a sensor which activates the flushing mechanism. It senses when a body moves away from the toilet. Thus it activates a flush. It keeps the water levels in toilet bowl low. Additionally, it even stops you from flushing when the toilet is clogged.
How can Technology Improve Our Lives?
The technologies that you have read above are specifically targeted towards improving your health. But overall, technology has had a deep impact on our lives. Today we feel safe because we have digital locks, motion sensor lights and cameras, cybersecurity, and much more to secure our external environment.
Inside the home, equipment like health and safety sensors allow identifying the important indicators about the air quality. Furthermore, today we have sensors to identify water purity and take preventive measures to drink safe and healthy water.
Utility technologies like electricity sensors, automation light control systems and other similar smart systems help save money and utility costs. We are more connected and more aware of our health, surroundings, and the ecosystem, which has led us to live a better life.
The best part about technology is that there is something for everybody. From newborn infants to a 100-year old person, we have the tools and methods to assess their health. This not only helps develop safe and health-oriented practices but takes preventive measures to ensure their health and safety.
Conclusion
Living healthily in a world that is surrounded by risks and diseases all around is totally in our hands. Everything that we do, eat, drink, and work with directly or indirectly affects our health. Therefore, it is better to modify your home environment and indoor settings with devices and technologies that enhance a good way of living a good life.
