2. **Sleep monitoring:** Devices like smartwatches and fitness bands use accelerometers and heart rate sensors to track sleep patterns, duration, stages (light, deep, REM), and quality.
3. **Assisting the hearing impaired:** Some wearable devices can provide tactile vibrations or visual alerts for notifications (calls, messages), act as a remote microphone, or display real-time captions, aiding individuals with hearing impairments.
