Disadvantages to Wearable Technology - Privacy - Hackers for personal gain - Medical information, address, facial features, email, where one goes consistently - Jobs - - Nurses are not as needed for hourly checks Jobs can decrease and taken over by wearable technology in hospitals
Medical Data - Future of medical technology - NIH trip about X-rays Revolutionize clinical trials on how they record the data Clinical trials like NIH X-rays and CT scans - Pre-uploaded in surgeries and other procedures - - -
Conclusions - Wearable technology has many advantages, monitoring health issues, predicting problems earlier, and improving one s daily life. Wearable technology also has their share of problems that all technology has, involving privacy concerns and too much information stored.
