WatchIt review

I enjoyed all of the presentations this week in class. In particular, I liked the “WatchIt” presentation. WatchIt is a watch that basically acts as an on-the-go hospital transmitter. At first, I wondered how it was different from a FitBit. However, they explained that it tracked diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure using the vein in the wrist that is under the watch. It is able to warn you when your health gets too low. It also helps you make the right decision before eating any foods that could harm your health. It uses nutritional facts to obtain the correct diet for your personalized health data. They said that other watches are very generalized, and they aren’t really specific to you. They track things like the number of steps you take but not actual health issues. In addition to the information presented about what the app does, I got a better understanding of the invention as the group answered questions. I understood each response they gave to all of the questions asked. Their responses helped me understand the watch’s capabilities even more. Some things that weren’t stated in the presentation were brought up in the time allotted for questions. They had an answer for each question that was thrown at them even if they didn’t think about it before. They knew their product very well. They even had a catchy slogan: “WatchIt! The Watch that Watches You.” They pitched their invention as if they were real businessmen. That is why I liked the WatchIt invention. It was different, creative, and modern, so more people would be interested in it. I would’ve never thought about an invention like this, but with newer technology these days, there are endless possibilities of what could be made to better today’s world.
