- Assisting the hearing impaired person
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Detailed Explanation:
Answer: Option 4 — 1, 2 and 3
Wearable technology devices are capable of performing all three mentioned tasks through integrated sensors and connectivity features. Modern wearables combine GPS, biometric sensors, and audio processing capabilities to assist users in various ways.
✅ Statement 1 – Correct: Smartwatches and fitness trackers with GPS functionality can identify and track a person's real-time location for navigation, safety, and fitness tracking purposes.
✅ Statement 2 – Correct: Wearable devices equipped with accelerometers and heart rate sensors can monitor sleep patterns, including duration, stages (REM, deep, light sleep), and overall sleep quality.
✅ Statement 3 – Correct: Hearing aid wearables and some smartwatches can amplify sounds and process audio to assist hearing-impaired persons by improving sound clarity and volume.
