Researchers at IIIT Hyderabad have developed GoldAid, a wearable safety device that alerts supervisors during industrial accidents. The system detects falls, gas exposure, and vitals in real time and has been tested at power plants and construction sites.
Wearable devices, especially medical-grade ones, have become popular, particularly among younger people keen on monitoring their health. While treating the body as a temple is commendable, extreme measures can be counterproductive.
