Abstract
In the fast-paced, digital world we live in, smart watches have emerged as stylish accessories with the potential to significantly impact human health. These wearable devices offer a wide range of benefits, including internet access, calling, GPS navigation, and health monitoring capabilities. They are in high demand globally and find applications in various sectors, including healthcare, transportation, and electronics. Smart watches have the ability to track medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease and seizures, enabling self-monitoring of activity, providing feedback on activity levels, and facilitating communication with healthcare providers. Integration with the Geographic Information System (GIS) aids in disaster management, while applications can enhance bystander CPR by monitoring CPR frequency and depth. Despite their numerous benefits, smart watches also present challenges and potential negative impacts. They can promote sedentary behaviour, distract users, disrupt sleep patterns, expose users to electromagnetic radiation, raise privacy concerns, and contribute to technology dependency and addiction. This short communication will mainly focus on key benefits & negative impacts of smart watch on human health.
