Quantify The Quality Of Your Daily Lifestyle Activities To Be Healthy

Today we can comfortably keep a track upon our health activities with the help of various devices and smart phone apps that monitor our food and sleeping habits, mood, heart rate and fatigue. These new generation equipments not only generate a proper data for study but this data can also be shared upon a social network with others by sending them to your computer or cell phone via wireless. This kind of sharing self tracking data of individuals helps researchers and pharmaceutical companies in developing of effective drugs and understand its after effects at a large scale.

 A device named Zeo keeps a track on your sleep cycle. It consists of a headband with fabric sensor that transmits through wi-fi EEG data to a bedside kept monitor. You can monitor your sleep according to different climatic and environmental factors. Here I would like to add that some people believe that wearing orange tinted glass few hours before sleep makes them fall asleep at a comparatively lesser time than usual as it blocks blue light that influences the biological rhythm of the body.

 

The other device named Startup’s Device is a watch that helps in self tracking body temperature, calories burnt, activity level of an individual, heart rate and sweat level.

A chest strap from the company named Zephyr has tried to develop a simple consumer durable device to make an assessment of the person’s fitness and stress level with the help of its software by tracking heart rate, respiration. A blood pressure measuring cuff and blood oxygen level measuring clip is also available. It should be carefully kept in mind that the result of blood pressure will be totally different when a person is active or inactive.

 
These devices will help us to keep self track of our fatigue, headache or sleep though we may not be suffering from any major disorder but could help in maintaining the quality of life by keeping track of how much to eat, sleep and work.
