This article explains changes that were put in place in order to receive payment from immigrants who need treatment. They are trying to get it to where they will have to show two forms of identification before they are eligible to receive treatment. The areas that will be affected are areas with a high volume of immigrants. These changes needed to be made due to the fact that they are paying out more money than they have been receiving.

This article is speaking about a PetPace collar for dogs. It’s like an active fitbit which tracks health and fitness. It’s also like a life alert button for medical emergencies. This is very useful since our pets can’t speak to us to tell us what’s wrong. This collar has sensors inside that detect when an animal is hurt or sick. It also tracks their calories, heart rate, and their temperature as well. This collar comes in handy for pet owners who need to keep a track of their pet’s well-being at all times.

There is a device called a Levl that connects to smartphones and allows one to access information on fat burning. It shows how your body responds to exercise and eating habits. It provides feedback on fat burning in the current state the body is in. It also gatherers information about the body. This is achieved just by breathing. It is designed to detect amounts of acetone in your breath, and to sense metabolism in the body. This device allows individuals to make better choices about their fitness and food routines. With the creation of the Levl, people can now measure their improvements without having to step on a measuring scale. This is convenient in so many ways, there’s no measuring involved, just a single breath.

The BioRing is a ring that can be worn at all times to track numerous activities. This ring is also made so that either gender can wear it. When this ring is worn, the sensors built into it are used to track: distance traveled, the number of steps taken, the intensity of physical activities, calories that are burned and the intake of calories, the heart rate, stress levels, sleep levels, intake of protein and fat, and the levels of water within the body. This ring is very convenient for people who want to know everything about their bodies. It connects to smartphones to give an overall list of health data. This ring also vibrates for notifications on the phone as well. This can be useful if someone were to set a goal for their fitness and when they meet it, the ring will vibrate letting them know it was reached. I believe this ring will help many people in their fitness and wellness journeys.

In this article, it expresses the importance of having smart clothes. The use of smart clothing is catered to a variety of people. This wearable tech is unlike fitness gear such as smart watches and apps; which are geared more to people who work out. This is also for people who don’t work out, but want to keep track of their wellness. The goal is for the wearable tech clothes to be normal as possible, but have all of the perks of fitness and wellness tracking devices. A few of the clothing items would be t-shirts, sports bras, pants, and even socks.

With the apple watch, people can do so much more than just text or make calls. It is also used as a health and fitness device. They have it to where it can track burned calories, running, walking, or jogging pace, and laps as well. With this innovative technology, it will be easier for people who exercise to keep a record of everything. It’s also very useful in the fact that it’s a watch. This means that it won’t be in the way of workouts and it isn’t big and in the way like a phone is. It’s perfect for people who are working on a healthier lifestyle. It’s even waterproof up to 50 meters for the people who swim too.
