Biometric wristbands have advanced biosensors and algorithms to monitor vital signs at home, distance, and commercially available systems. They can monitor sleeping and awake vital signs such as heart rate, blood oxygen, or even ECG data (electrical activity from the heart). Biometric wristbands are useful for fitness and health monitoring, but they provide additional capabilities beyond health tracking. Biometric wristbands include biometric authentication technologies such as a fingerprint or vein readers, making them suitable for secure access to workplaces, events, or pay systems. Biometric wristbands offer continuous monitoring of an individual, generate personalized feedback, and add to the usability of secure functions. Biometric wristbands will be integrated into our lifestyles, assisting with the use of technology, wellness, and comfort more satisfactorily and conveniently.
Advantages of Biometric Wristbands
-
1. Can be costly compared to traditional wristbands or low-end wearables.
2. Can present privacy concerns due to the storage of sensitive biometric data.
3. Rely on battery, meaning uninterrupted long-term use is limited.
4. Can have accuracy issues with sensors depending on conditions (sweat, movement, lighting).
5. Potential risk of a data breach or hacking if security protocols are not followed thoroughly.
Disadvanatages of Biometric wristbands
-
1. Sustainable - Being that they are made from renewable seaweed and algae, they are biodegradable and sustainable.
2. Low environmental impact. Seaweed grows quickly with no farmland, fresh water, or fertilizer.
3. Unique look. Naturally translucent or tinted, these bags provide a contemporary and unique style.
4. Lightweight. Flexible material makes it easy to wear for long periods of time.
5. Strong. Marine bags stand up to daily use while still being sustainable.
