During this course, we attended a debate between several speakers from different
backgrounds. The goal was to know or debate the possibility that companies could develop
wearable technologies without regulation. During this debate, we first talked about wearable
technologies in general and then we were able to talk about their advantages and
disadvantages, particularly in the medical environment.

Many wearables can focus on health and fitness tracking, allowing users to monitor their
physical activity, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. This can promote a healthier lifestyle
and help users set and achieve fitness goals. By actively monitoring vital signs, wearables
can help prevent and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and
hypertension. Patients can receive preventive alerts and personalized advice to improve
their lifestyle.

Many wearables have limited battery life, requiring frequent charging. This can be
inconvenient for users who forget to charge their devices regularly especially for the health
wereable. Wearables often collect personal data, raising concerns about privacy. Users may
be uncomfortable with the idea of their health and activity data being stored and potentially
shared with third parties. High-quality wearables can be expensive, limiting accessibility for
some users. Additionally, there may be ongoing costs for apps or services associated with
the devices.

Although wearables can improve the medical care of patients, it is essential to emphasize
that wearables can be complementary tools for health management, but they should not be
considered as substitutes for in-depth medical assessments. .
