Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): Smart gadgets and fitness trackers work to measure a person’s health parameters and some can even detect illness such as a heart attack. So some measure your health by tracking sleep and other definitions.
Since most fitness trackers work by measuring a person’s heart rate, which is an important parameter. Scientists are now wondering whether the same technique can be helpful in detecting changes in a breath.
For example, in a study conducted in the US, scientists were able to see that a popular fitness wear brand was able to identify people who had influenza-like illness based on an increase in heart rate.
Even though Covid-19 has special symptoms like cough, cold, fever, but if any kind of infection is developing in the body, it can also be detected by increasing heart rate. For the study, researchers measured and recorded daily activity, so that they could identify low levels of daily activity.
Because fitness bands record heart rate and are able to store data for long periods of time, they can prove to be excellent gadgets to track and detect the spread of corona. Especially at a time where it is not easy to conduct the corona test.
