Do you know how fast your heart is beating?  The answer is probably no, yet it can be as easy to find out by simply checking your watch. Today, a wristband can tell you your heart rate and even has the technology to determine whether you are sleeping or awake!

The introduction of timepieces that help the wearer to monitor his health is making headlines, particularly in the world of senior health care.  These new wristwatches are built with a sensor that, when in contact with the wearer’s skin, can collect and organize data regarding the wearer’s “physical activity, ECG, gait, and posture,” giving seniors the ability to live independently and allowing caregivers to offer patients the quality service with ease. 

 
In fact, Jawbone's UP, is a wristband that fits snug like a watch and is already being sold through mass retailers such as Best Buy and Apple. 

What do you think of this new technology? Will the digital timepiece serve as a complementary device to smartphones or be its own product with specific capabilities? Let us know what you think on our Facebook page.
