Abstract
Wearable technology holds great potential in transforming healthcare. This technology already has applications in medical education and in enhanced accessibility in healthcare. Wearable technology allows medical professionals to access data more efficiently while monitoring patient behavior, thus improving patient care as a whole. The implementation of wearable technology will increase the accuracy of the diagnostic process and decrease cases of medical malpractice, due to improved accuracy. Proposed is a wearable device concept, utilizing wrist-band technology to assist in the development and maintenance of orthopedic health, while avoiding other ailments through enhanced training.
