Smart homes are steadily but surely becoming normality, as almost everything nowadays feels “smart”. And, even if we like this development or not, we cannot argue that it hasn’t made our lives easier, to some extent.
Let’s face it - we can order food at our doorstep. With new technology, we can adjust the temperature by only saying “Alexa turn up the heating”. Or, we can turn on the sprinklers even when we’re not home. Even the washing machines are able to send us a notification when the laundry is ready.
So, why don’t we try to use smart devices to become more healthy and active? After all, we have a variety of options to choose from.
Who here can say they have a soundless sleep? Well, for those of us who don’t remember the last time we had a decent sleep, I think we might have found the solution. You guessed it - a smart bed
Yes, it is a thing. In modern society, sleep deprivation has become increasingly common, and it's no surprise, given the demands of our busy work lives and social calendars. But, trust me, it can be a more serious problem than we’d think. Sleep deprivation can cause some serious health problems like diabetes or heart disease.
The smart bed uses new technology that can adjust the firmness of the mattress! And this means - it can be as soft, as comfy, or as stiff as you like. And the cherry on top - it has separate settings for each side! Yes, you won’t have to worry about your significant other who likes to sleep on a brick. We will have our fluffy bed - making the perfect adjustment for us. By the end, you’ll be sleeping like a baby. And, yes, it has an app. And yes, you can find how many hours you spend in bed. So, if you have some money to spare, think about a smart mattress.

On the more budget-friendly side, we have another smart device that takes care of our sleep-related health problems - a sleep monitoring system
It’s time to become more aware of your sleep habits and why not, improve them. Google Nest Hub (2nd generation) is a great smart device designed specifically for guiding you on the path to a night of great sleep. This smart device will track your sleep, measure your breathing, and figure out what is disturbing your sleep. The best part - you will receive tips for improving your sleep. The Nest Hub also detects when you are in your sleeping environment and calculates the level of ambient light to identify the best moment to turn off the lights and begin calming down. It also has a temperature sensor to regulate the temperature in your bedroom at a reasonable level.
Another smart device that can help our health is a smart scale
It's not just your ordinary weight scale as it can also measure your bone mass, body fat percentage, muscle mass, body mass index, body water percentage, and even your basal metabolic rate, which checks multiple body metrics like breathing, circulation, nutrient processing, and cell production. Plus, using a smart scale can help prevent conditions like neuropathy, which is super helpful especially if you have other health issues such as diabetes, infections, or injuries.
And, let’s not forget about smart air purifiers, and air quality sensors, which are particularly useful during allergy season
The filtration techniques employed by these devices are incredibly sophisticated and can filter out particles as small as 0.3 microns, which is the size of most airborne pollutants. With them, germs and airborne toxins are effectively removed, promoting a healthier living environment. Additionally, their portable design allows for easy movement throughout the household, ensuring that every room is supplied with refreshing and revitalizing air. For instance, the Molekule Air Pro can filter out VOCs, mold spores, bacteria, allergens, and even viruses, as small as 0.1 microns.
Smart devices and new technology are part of our lives. We invest time and money in devices that make our lives easier.
By investing in smart devices that promote a healthy lifestyle, we can further enhance the benefits they bring to our lives. Therefore, let us consider incorporating health-focused smart devices into our homes, and take the first step towards a healthier, more connected lifestyle. We hope this guide has been helpful - and we are curious about which smart devices you are already incorporating into your lifestyle - and which one from here piqued your curiosity. All of them are pricy, so you better put in balance the pros and cons and decide if they’re worth the investment.
