in this article, we will try to highlight how smart watch sometimes detects some health condition before you, lets start with number 1;
1. Diabetes
Smartwatch are still incapable of detecting if the wearer has an increased risk of developing diabetes, but heart health company Cardiogram is currently investigating it in the hopes of developing an app for it.
They currently make apps for Wear OS and the Apple Watch, which can also collect data from devices made by Garmin and Fitbit. The idea is to use deep learning techniques to extract more from your heart rate readings than your smartwatch can do on its own.
2 . A sedentary lifestyle
Just about every smartwatch out there will warn you if you’re spending too much of your day sitting still. Being hunched over a laptop all day with little to no exercise has been directly linked to severe health issues such as diabetes, obesity, and even premature death.
You can use any smartwatch you like to set goals for yourself and follow your own routine, but if you want proactive alerts that buzz your wrist every time you’ve been sitting still for far too long, your options include any Apple Watch and the Fitbit smartwatches. Unfortunately this feature is not natively available on Google’s Wear OS, but you can plug the gap with third-party apps.urn:uuid:96315e85-8199-9088-5730-908881999631
If you own a Fitbit smartwatch, for example, open up the Fitbit app on your phone, tap your avatar (top left), and then pick the device you’re using. The Reminders to Move entry on the next screen lets you turn the setting on and off.
3 – stress
We should all be keeping a close eye on our stress levels, especially during the troubling times we’re living in. Accumulated tension can lead to high blood pressure, fertility problems, insomnia, and an elevated risk of heart attack, among other health issues.
The latest Fitbit Sense smartwatch has a strong focus on stress-busting. It comes with an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor that measures electrical activity in the skin, which can be used to compute your stress levels—the lower your score, the more stressed you are. This is not an integrated Fitbit feature though, so you’ll need to launch the EDA Scan app from the watch to get a reading.urn:uuid:07778ea3-3060-3aff-8994-3aff30600777
Other smartwatches offer tools to help deal with stress, too. The Apple Watch, for example, comes with Apple’s own Breathe app that encourages regular deep breathing and meditation. While this is an alternative and most smartwatches can now detect prolonged periods of high heart rate, none of them is so direct and purpose-built as the EDA sensor in the Fitbit Sense.
4 Respiratory issues
An SpO2 sensor, sometimes also called a pulse oximeter, can detect issues with your breathing—a possible sign of lung disease—and a growing number of wearables come with one. However, it’s not on the same level of accuracy and precision as an ECG feature is for atrial fibrillation, since the sensor can only spot one indicator out of several.
You may have noticed Apple making a big deal out of the blood oxygen sensor built into the latest Apple Watch 6, making this device one of your options if you’re looking to detect these sorts of problems. Such a sensor is also available in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, the TicWatch Pro 3 running Wear OS, and a variety of Fitbit and Garmin smartwatches.urn:uuid:391623ef-d4e2-22c1-2e90-22c1d4e23916
If you’re using a Galaxy Watch 3, open up the Samsung Health app from the app gallery, scroll down the list, pick Blood Oxygen, and follow the instructions on screen. A normal reading is typically between 95 and 100 percent, but this can vary from person to person. It’s important to remember these sensors aren’t yet as accurate as medical devices, so if you get a reading that is outside of these parameters, keep in mind that even if it’s worth checking with a doctor, it might be nothing.
5 Sleep apnea
People who suffer from sleep apnea stop and start breathing irregularly while they’re sleeping. Left untreated, it can lead to higher blood pressure, an increased risk of a stroke, and difficulty concentrating during the day. Although these effects can have severe consequences in the long term, this condition is still vastly undiagnosed. Luckily, this is where a smartwatch can come in.
At the time of writing, there’s no smartwatch that will specifically warn you about sleep apnea, but they’ll all be able to identify periods of restless sleep. This might mean sleep apnea, though it’s not a particularly precise way of being alerted to it. If this condition is a concern of yours, look for a smartwatch with a blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) sensor, which can help monitor sleep in more detail.urn:uuid:fb628956-9695-c1bf-8aa1-c1bf9695fb62
The Withings ScanWatch is perhaps your best bet for catching this condition since it includes a SpO2 sensor, and is pending regulatory approval as a medical-grade sleep apnea detector. Meanwhile, Fitbit is testing an app update that would be able to detect sleep apnea from the data its devices collect, though it’s not available in any products yet.
And finally here is this article, it can help you to choose the right smartwatch for you.
