Everywhere you go you see someone wearing a band, bracelet or watch that can help track some aspect of their health. In this webinar we'll examine websites, apps and wearable devices that promote good health. We'll look at places where you can go for reliable health information, both on the web and on your phone. This webinar will also show you how you can use the web, apps and wearables to monitor:
- exercise
- nutrition
- medication
- children's health
- mental health.
We'll also take a look at how wearables in particular fit into libraries now and in the future.
