Technology's Influence on Health

Technology can serve as a tool to make monitoring and accessing one's health information faster and easier. A hidden aspect of this is that it can be very beneficial for the elderly and those who may have trouble getting around as it could lessen the need for frequent health appointments. This technology is available from any smartphone which makes it the most optimal outlet for people who prefer or require regular and immediate updates on their health. Some things that health apps can do are monitor heart health in which they can keep track of one's heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen level and they can keep track of the amount of calories being burned. There are also apps tailored specifically for fitness that combine some of these features.
