Technology and health – level 1

31-01-2025 07:00

A show in Las Vegas shows new health technology. Some devices help people understand their health and talk to doctors.

One machine collects health information and explains it. AI helps with it.  People can understand their health better. Another small tool measures hormones in the mouth. It helps people see changes in their body and stress.

Other new ideas include a smart ring, a blood pressure monitor, and a device for women’s health. There is also a special bed. It checks your sleep, heart rate, and movement. It can change position, make nice smells, and call for help. These things show that new technology can help people stay healthy.

Difficult words: device (a thing made or adapted for a particular purpose), measure (to find out how big, or how much of something there is), blood pressure (how forcefully your blood goes through your body).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What are some examples of new health technology devices mentioned in the text and how do they help people understand their health better?
