Abstract
Everyone understands the necessity of health management, especially in light of the COVID-19 viral infection. How to care for and manage health has emerged as the main topic of conversation, whether it concerns the elderly, adults, patients, or children. There are numerous ways to maintain one's health, and smartwatches are good at doing this because their owners can monitor their health constantly. The idea behind a smartwatch is to utilise its green light to measure the wearer's blood pressure before gathering information about their health. Because smartwatches can constantly detect and analyse users' daily health information. Users or guardians can use this information to take care of their bodies; therefore, they are an excellent choice for many people with dementia, depression, high-stress conditions, and athletes who need to monitor their physical fitness. This article analyses in depth the value of smartwatches, their applications for managing people's health, and their benefits and drawbacks.
