The document discusses self-care in the healthcare context, noting that self-care involves looking after one's health through healthy lifestyle habits, staying active, and preventative care whenever possible. It describes how self-care technologies like wearable devices and apps can help patients monitor their vital signs, share health information with doctors, and receive real-time health analytics and risk monitoring to support better health decisions and fewer hospital visits. The goal of self-care is to give people more control over their lives through increased freedom, choice, and flexibility.
