Chronic Conditions and Smart Self-Care – How Wearables Support Your Daily Health
Living with high blood pressure, diabetes, or asthma can be demanding. But thanks to modern wearable technology – like health watches and fitness bands – seniors can take better care of themselves. These digital helpers support everyday routines, increase safety, and offer peace of mind.
Why this matters – especially for people aged 60+
As we age, the risk of developing chronic conditions rises significantly. According to WHO data, most people over 60 live with at least one long-term illness. Managing these conditions means keeping an eye on health data every day – and that’s where technology steps in.
How smart health wearables help
Smartwatches and health bands like the CARE Pro 4 Plus or CARE Vital Band are designed to support people with chronic diseases. They can monitor:
- Blood pressure and heart rate
- Oxygen saturation and breathing rate
- Sleep quality
- Daily activity and movement
Data is synced to an app and can also be shared with relatives – ideal for tracking changes and reacting early.
Example: Keeping an eye on blood pressure
High blood pressure often goes unnoticed. A smartwatch with automatic readings lets you track values without a traditional cuff. If values go out of range, the device can alert you – offering added safety, even when you're on the go.
