The choice of health monitoring equipment for the elderly should mainly consider the principle of practicality, and must have the following functions:
1. Heart rate detection
Selecting an intelligent monitoring device that can realize 24-hour heart rate detection plays a relatively effective role in detecting abnormal heart rate of the elderly. The 24-hour heart rate detection can capture abnormal conditions such as fast/slow heart rate, arrhythmia, etc.,and detect potential health problems in time, and prevent risks that affect life and health.
2. Sleep quality detection
Sleep detection is currently a must-have function on many smart monitoring devices, because the detection of sleep depth is mainly measured by the amount of exercise during sleep, but not all smart monitoring devices can detect sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is mainly achieved through photoelectric heart rate detection. Intelligent monitoring equipment with this function will automatically detect the user’s blood oxygen concentration during sleep at night to determine whether abnormal breathing occurs during sleep.
Sleep apnea is more common in middle-aged obese people, and it can cause serious damage to the human body, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, etc., they can increasing the risk of stroke in the middle-aged and elderly. Therefore, when purchasing intelligent monitoring equipment for the elderly, priority should be given to those with respiratory arrest detection function.
3. Can pay attention to the health data of family members
For most elderly people, it is difficult to use intelligent monitoring equipment to master their own health. Therefore, the intelligent monitoring equipment for the elderly must have a data sharing function, so that children can always pay attention to the health situation of the elderly. At present, most of the devices on the market mainly focus on the sports community, and the sports data needs to be actively shared by users every time to see it. There are relatively few data that can be bound to the shared data of relatives. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to the software corresponding to the device which must be able to share family health data.
The sleep recorder of Plus1Health is equipped with the “TiNew” applet, which can be matched with most brands of mobile phones and models. By following the “TiNew” public account, you can understand the health of your family members in real time, and enhance the relationship between family members.
