News Desk: Even if there are no symptoms, some people may be affected, - this information will be given by the fitness tracker. Fitness trackers like Apple, Garmin, Fitbit will be able to tell you before you feel unwell whether you are infected or not.

They claim that these fitness trackers monitor heart rate. As a result, they can understand only when the body is bad. In their words, they measure the time between two heart beats. If one's body is healthy and there is no infection in the body, then the heart rate fluctuates depending on the situation a person is in. In that case the heart rate will change depending on the nervous system, stress.

And if there is a virus in the body, especially an inflammatory infection, then the nervous system works too late and the heart rate does not change easily. And if you notice this, you can understand whether you are infected or not. "We now believe in the word of mouth," said Rob Harten, author of the study, which was conducted on behalf of the Mint Sinai Health System. When someone says that his body is not feeling well or weak, he is being examined.

But those who do not have such problems, that is, no symptoms, they can catch the whole thing with the help of this type of fitness tracker. And this fitness tracker can play a big role in controlling infectious disorders. Because, in case of inflammatory infection, the heart rate changes. And even if the corona is infected, the inflammatory problem remains.

As a result, it is possible to identify this virus with the help of this tracker. Meanwhile, Michelle Snyder, a research author at Stanford University in California, says the advantage of using a smartwatch or fitness tracker is that anyone who pays close attention can see if the corona is infected. In this situation, the way it is taking time to test for corona, if one realizes in advance that he is infected with corona, then the tendency to test unnecessarily will decrease. At the same time, people will become aware, so that the infection will not spread.

Other reports say the study was not sponsored by any of the three organizations. As a result it is a completely research based report. So if that is true and if this fitness tracker can tell if someone is infected or not, then the amount of infection will really decrease.
