For weeks 7 and 8 I looked at 3 different articles/videos. I evaluated each and did a summary on the article/video and also added in my personal thoughts and opinions!
The first video I watched was “What is a serious game” by Gamelearn. They discussed what a serious game is and why they think it will be beneficial to peoples health. A serious game is a game designed with a primary purpose other than for enjoyment. These games are targeted for the adult population more than children and teens. They are designed to train peoples brain and make their thinking and processing skills increase. Through training the brain this way, adults participating in the games will gain better skills and increase communication. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_7Y24obdxY
The second video I watched was “Meet Moov Now” by Moov. Moov is said to be a personal fitness coach on your wrist! It will tell you what workout to do, minimize the chance of injury by telling you what you are doing wrong in your form, and will even correct your form! Also, it is waterproof so swimmers can use it as well! Compared to an Apple Watch, which is Moov’s biggest competition, and personal fitness coaches, it is much less expensive. Moov is around $49.99-$59.95. While personal trainers are around $80-$125 and apple watches are $400-$800. Moov is the newest technology of how to get people fit on their own terms for much less money! Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ef95nAHFAs
The third post I read was an article called “Apple Watch fall detection sent emergency services to the aid of an 80-year-old-woman” by Ben Lovejoy. This was about a woman who fell, and due to the motion, her Apple Watch was apple to detect the fall and send an ambulance to come get her. This is a huge step forward for older adults because 1 in 4 adults 65+ will fall every year and every 19 minutes an adult will die from a fall. By having a device be able to detect this is amazing! It could save many older adults from injury and even death. Link to article: https://9to5mac.com/2019/04/15/apple-watch-fall-detection/
