I think the watch Watchit is a great way to address the health crisis in America. It tackles the three most prominent health problems in America: obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Most Americans complain of not having enough time to go to the doctor, monitor their health, and set out time from their busy schedule to establish a healthy diet or workout plan. This watch can help them with all of these problems in the most practical and convenient way possible, so there's really no room for complaints or excuses.
Since the watch is linked to your phone, it is even more convenient and useful for the average American. Everyone's body is different, and no two people are going to require the same health plan to acheive their healthiest state. What's more is that no two people are going to look the same when they are at their healthiest physical state, and this issue was acknowledge in the presentation. To combat that, the watch sends a specialized plan for to each individual, taking information from their vitals in the same manner that hospitals do. I have one critic of this however: how is it that the watch can easily and affordably check all of these vitals signs when the hospitals spend thousands of dollars on several different equipment and wires to do the same thing? I think there is a gap in the technological time frame, and a watch like this just isn't plausible even in the next few decades. Nonetheless, it is a very neat idea, and getting people the information they need to live a healthier lifestyle without making the trip to the doctor is basically a dream come true for many people.
I also like how the app notifies the user and their emergency contacts of any serious health issues. It's even better that it can alert the police when the user is in a fatal position because he or she cannot do anything during those moments. In this way, the app can save many lives.
In my opinion, this app could be very useful and is by far the best solution to widespread obesity in America ever I've heard of.
