These Smart Devices Help You (Literally) Keep Your Balance

Balance is an integral part of daily life–and we’re not just talking about figurative balance. Balance means being able to distribute our weight whenever we stand or move without falling over, and while it’s easy to take balance for granted, especially when we’re younger, there’s nothing like preparing ourselves for the inevitable as we grow older. 

These smart balance devices are designed to help us in different ways–whether through sports, overall health, or assisting our elderly loved ones. Check them out and give them a try to stay level on your feet!

BalanceBelt

From BalanceBelt Official Website

The BalanceBelt is specifically designed for our elderly loved ones with balance and mobility issues. This smart balancing belt utilizes haptic feedback to assist those with severe balance disorders in regaining balance and living independently. The belt can sense which direction your loved one is leaning toward, then alert the wearer so they can correct their posture accordingly. The BalanceBelt is not available in the Philippines just yet, but you can learn more about this technology at the official Elitac Wearables website. 

Apple Watch Series 9

From Apple Philippines Official Website

While not strictly a balance-detecting device, the Apple Watch Series 9 has Fall Detection, which can automatically detect if you’ve taken a hard fall. From there, this smart wearable connects to emergency services, so you can get the help you need right away. This smart wearable is also capable of tracking your ECG, giving you crucial data for doctors and peace of mind for you. The Apple Watch Series 9 is available on the official Apple Philippines website.
