Section 1: Introduction of Wearable Technology
1. Identify the wearable technology you selected, including the brand name.
I chose to focus my research on fitness trackers, such as Fitbit, iWatch,
etc. Since owning an iWatch myself I felt that this product would be
beneficial to help not only myself, but others understand the ins and outs of
this technology.
2. Discuss the intended purpose of the selected wearable technology.
The intended purpose of the iWatch is not only to keep you connected
easier than always pulling your phone out, but it can help you manage your
health. There are several apps such as fall detection, fitness tracker, heart
rate and blood pressure monitoring that can help someone detect early
symptoms so that help can be obtained within the crucial time frame if
needed.
3. Explain how the selected wearable technology promotes self-care
and/or illness management.
Having wearable technology such as a fitness tracker can help promote
self-care as well as illness management. Since their debut around 2015
wearable technology has been taking the world by storm. According to the

allowing consumers to download apps that help track not only fitness but
heart rate, blood pressure, EKGs, and even fall detection as well as food
trackers (Lui et al., 2022). This allows the consumer to be in control of their
health
