Health Trackers for Mental Health Care

Updated on December 13th, 2021

Above 51.5 million individuals in the United States suffer from severe mental illnesses. This represents 1 in 5 individuals from the entire adult population. However, the role of health trackers is quite important today in monitoring mental health patients.

Advancements in IoT devices are great for mental health conditions. Amazon recently announced its Halo View fitness tracker with a color display for at-a-glance access to heart rate, activity, and sleep tracking.

Apart from tracking REM sleep and active movement, Halo View also keeps a check on your mental health. Since mental health conditions disrupt making correct self-assessment, it's difficult for service users to report their vitals/problems accurately. Doctors require information on sleep quality, mood changes, heart rate frequencies, and body composition. And, Halo View is a great health tracker for monitoring mental health patients for their vitals. 

This tracker gives you an accurate representation of your energy levels. It bases the vitals on the intensity of movement, body fat percentage. Moreover, this health tracker can create long-term graphs and charts of these vitals too. These can be reported to your doctor even virtually.

Further, mental health conditions often result in brain fog, and mood swings. However, the Halo Tracker tracks the tone of your voice to understand your mood. Additionally, it conveniently works with meditation and relaxation apps such as Headspace. 

Also, you can check out Amazon Halo Band - designed to help you reach your health and wellness goals.
