Sleep-tracking apps have also increased in popularity within the past year as more and more individuals are trying to find ways to maintain a healthy sleep schedule. Sleep is one of the most important things when it comes to our physical health, so seeing information on your specific sleeping patterns and routine can help you make adjustments to ensure you’re getting a proper amount of sleep every night. 

Nighttime apps can also help individuals meditate and fall asleep easier for those who have trouble drifting off/staying asleep. Most of these applications use some sort of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology at its base so that the experience is really individualized for the user and their specific health goals. 

This makes sense considering how heavily AI is used in the medical community now as well. The Internet of Caring Things (IoCT) is one of the best examples of this. This network connects devices, sensors, and cognitive systems to allow family members, their doctors and other caregivers access to heath stats and the well-being of the world’s population. 

According to reviews, the network “helps monitor, inform, and notify not only caregivers, but also healthcare providers with actual data to identify issues before they become critical and allows early intervention.” This system makes it easy for family members to stay informed of their more vulnerable relatives even if they’re not living under the same roof; something that’s been extremely beneficial during the Covid-19 pandemic.
