Before proceeding further you need to know; what is wellness technology? In simple words, the term wellness technology or fitness/healthiness tools refers to a set of (often) wearable tech gadgets that enables you to improve your overall health and keep a track of your general well-being. This includes the use of smartwatches, meditation-tracking devices, smart jewellery, and aura devices, but can include non-wearables, too.
We have rounded up some of the best and most affordable wellness technology tools for you to practice self-care and level up your general wellbeing. Have a look:
Thanks to advancement in technology, wearable smart jewellery (rings, bracelets, and necklaces) have gained immense popularity in recent years. Bonus point? They are super chic, fashionable and help you keep track of your personal well-being. These devices monitor your sleep schedule, track your water consumption, calculate your daily
intake of calories and provide suggestions to help you manage your health better. The built-in sensors and microprocessors monitor BP and pulse rate. With these devices by your side, get ready to look great whilst improving your general health. You can connect them to multiple devices to monitor your daily activity.
Apps such as My Fitness Pal can be immensely helpful when it comes to taking care of your health in today’s fast-paced world. The app is equipped with features that help you to track your eating habits and also to assist with coming up with meal ideas for you. You can keep count of your calories while traveling, working, or sleeping by installing this app on your smart watch or mobile phone. Exercising regularly and eating healthy meals diminishes the likelihood of developing anxiety and lethargy. Nutritious food enables you to feel happy, full of energy and promotes general wellness.
Similarly, working out regularly elevates your mood and relieves feelings of stress and anxiety. From customized workout plans to yoga sessions and healthy meal prep ideas approved by a nutritionist – these fitness tracking apps help you to bring transformational change into your life. The virtual coaching programs available on these apps enable you to put together a plan for cognitive and physical exercises based upon your needs.
Wearable blood pressure monitors:
Wearable blood pressure monitors can also be a great way to improve your wellness. The oscillometric blood pressure monitor looks like a typical smartwatch but is equipped with a plethora of useful features. The device keeps a track of your blood pressure rate, steps taken, calories burnt and pulse rate so you can keep your blood pressure under control.
Connect the monitor with your mobile phone or laptop to view, compare and track your daily habits and keep your blood pressure in check. The best part about incorporating a wearable monitor is it calculates the blood pressure rate conveniently by gathering biological data from your body. Wearable technology is a great innovation to improve your lifestyle and facilitate better general health.
Meditation gadgets and devices
Meditation helps in restoring inner peace by eliminating feelings of constant stress and anxiety. The ability of meditation to provide you with a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind is phenomenal. A technology lifestyle can motivate you to begin practicing meditation, yoga, and mindfulness, and maintain these activities as part of your daily routine.
Just a few days of training can contribute to wellness, improve your concentration and help diminish your stress levels. Wearable meditation tools are available to encourage your practice of mindfulness.
These devices usually come with a headpiece and a tracking app. They monitor your brainwaves to deepen your practice and amplify the results. The headpiece reduces the noise around you so you can concentrate effectively without any distraction. Using natural sounds of ocean waves, rain, and seashore, the meditation tracking devices also come with a range of different programs that cater to everybody’s needs. We tried them and the results were pleasing and relaxing.
Massaging devices (seats and cushions)
