Technology's Golden Age - Smart Health Appliances

Good health increasingly means taking responsibility of our long-term preventive care rather than sporadically treating acute illnesses, it places great emphasis on enhancing well-being to prevent illness, and it recognizes the role of the home as an important factor in individual health improvement, well-being and, in the event of illness, care. The Internet of Things, with technologies such as sensors, microcontrollers, actuators, and connectivity modules together with security solutions and software, has great potential to prevent diseases and improve health. The IoT has innumerable health and wellbeing applications, with devices able to track key health markers, such as a user’s heart rate or breathing patterns. This technology may afford users greater awareness of their health and allow them to make pro-active decisions regarding their health and well-being. The video shows the vital role that Infineon’s semiconductor technology plays within that sphere.
