A tree pissing off a story this is my place to bring home just one week. How much worse can it really get. We still have time to an ongoing. Process. According to my fitness ive already taken 2628 steps today and i got 7 hours of deep sleep thats about average this devise can even determine my mood seriously but is that really a good thing how healthy is self optimization autopsy today on ship. Do it get enough exercise to eat the right food. Have i had enough water today am i relaxed enough according to a recent survey about 33 percent of the global population has already tried out Digital Health records the market for fitness wearables has tripled since 2017 and it looks set to grow much more say experts why are we so obsessed with self improvement and is there something wrong with not according to a psychologist you would at microsoft. Is a part of our developing further which is one of the humans fundamental needs its part of all of us but there is a difference when we talk about self optimization this entails reaching optimum capacity or reaching a certain song and this is often linked to self value and status. We try to get fitter and its better to improve our bodies but what about our minds well also apps and gadgets that contract our mental well being and in these times of crisis many are starting to use such trackers but how do they work i took a closer look. No question the world is asked more often its also what ive been asking myself for days now ive been using delio to track my mood in the morning at midday and in the evening i can choose from 5 emotions this morning i would say that im good. I tell delio what im doing how im feeling and translates the data into statistics. Hold the riot move triggers Available Online they are almost like digital diaries a place to record on hold and a cavity. Evaluate this information and draw conclusions about psychological health. Cant really analyze the uses. A person can have to. So many different emotions feelings are very complex and these apps can simplify complex matters in such a way that they might end up being not useful. Delio can only track my mood when im using it actively it doesnt know what happens in between and that information doesnt turn up in the statistics. I dont think the ad was that useful for me personally but it could be helpful to record ones daily activity in order to recognize certain patterns but to do so you already have to know yourself quite well there because that take other factors into account quite a bit. That im in the office its time for the next test feel wristbands can measure the sweat on the use a skin this information will be linked to mood related data. I will input my mood into the app now thats a joyous because i get to see my colleagues the respond wanted to some biometric data on my Blood Pressure for example translates them into emotional patterns and recognize them when im joyous in the future. I dont know how precise these measurements are but on the basis of my responses to questions about concrete situations be able to propose certain mindfulness exercises there are all kinds of variables such as these on the market now some claim that they can recognize a use emotions through their voice others detect and measure brain activity all these headbands wristbands rings measure physical data and give advice on how to improve Mental Health some even say that they can help people to overcome depression but you did most of has some warning words in this regard. We should remember that we should never transfer responsibility for our own life and psychological wellbeing or health to a digital app it can be helpful to use them but its very important. To use them responsibly and to be aware of the risks that afflict supply. After work i like to switch off and this muse had been says it can help according to the makers it uses 7 sensors to detect the brains electrical activity which it then transforms into understandable experiences so the user can wind down and meditate if im not calm i will hear sounds of a storm which will remind me to concentrate on my breathing if im feeling calm i will hear light summer late. I can hear some very light rain some wind. And from time to time the earth chirping that indicates that im really relaxed right now over. What im talking the wind is getting heavier and the rain there will be a truth so i think a bit of contemplating. I would say that new trick is going to help people to go about their everyday life in a more mindful way but it is important to not relinquish full control and to not take them and the exercises they prescribe to seriously i doubt that such gadgets can really have users with serious Mental Health issues for now people can still decide themselves whether they want to use these quantified self apps and devices but what if they didnt have a choice what if their employers ordered them to use a move tracker. Lots of work multitasking and difficult exercises these daily life at tiny a start up based in the founders vision of the future is one where employees only receive as much work as they can actually carry out the idea is that software should a lot their workload on a magically so that the software can do this is have to wear a device that measures the polls all the time and theres a camera the films their faces the idea is to measure their stress levels and emotional states and then the workload can be calculated. It is one of the developers he says hes not interested in surveillance or storing data but in flow. Is a tutor this can be described as the perfect state between the feeling of being under challenge to the board and the opposite which is being stressed and swamped that place in between when someone is challenge who can cope with the task in hand is flying flow. But do we really want a world in which software can get such a deep insight into an employees emotional state the slow select from the German Research center for Artificial Intelligence things not. We dont want a situation in which such Software Leads to the surveillance of employees with the result that someone might be fired if they dont perform adequately or if theyre going through a rough patch personally and the system detects that its with subsequent negative consequences this has to be prevented. At this munich startup employees have to actively agree to be tracked but will this always be the case these systems force people to share intimate information how is the data used and by whom. Of course apps must collect data to quantify progress for example in Health RelatedResearch Apple has collaborated with academics and published a variety of studies based on Data Collected by volunteers and their smart watches it might sound like a win win situation but im not so sure about giving that bunch of personal information to a private company. Health out as trackers collected data when users are sleeping eating and exercising but they also gather other information for example regarding location users often have no idea what is done with their data. Is a lawyer who says the terms of use are frequently laded in a very vague way. And Many Companies are just connecting information and dont even know what they want to do with it sooner or later there will be some kind of commercial use for the data right now data is already being sold for targeted advertising directed at certain groups and individuals Health Insurance companies are also very interested in such data some of them are already offering cheaper rates to policyholders who agree to track their own Health Related data this is this is great for those who are healthy but not so great for those who are not in the end it leads to people being selected according to their risk to the. User should think very carefully about the amount of personal information theyre willing to divulge to some shops Data Protection is obviously a big issue but do the apps even do what they say they will now all kinds of new fitness apps and gadgets flooding the market theyre supposed to encourage users to exercise more without a trainer but do they really work. The fence was something of theres a wealth of research into the question of whether it makes a difference if a person uses an app and tracks their activity or not and so far what its shown is that it makes a huge difference to peoples motivation many are more likely to commit themselves to their health and stick to it if they track their activity and see visible progress but it is not yet been proven that this actually makes an impact on health and whether users really do more exercise we just dont know that yet. In addition some fitness apps can actually increase the risk of physical damage Artificial Intelligence and instructions ideas can help people tailor physical activity to their own needs but people are more likely to hurt themselves if they do the exercises wrongly and cant ask a real life instructor for advice. If the user wants to do something right there is a lot of work involved trainer will have a certain experience that. Trainers made of flesh and blood still have an Important Role to play. And that doesnt just go for fitness apps even small devices can have chutes drawbacks a friend of mine wanted to track all the stations obviously to optimize his sleeping pattern but he got so stressed out by the whole process that in the end he couldnt sleep at all and that might be helpful for some but not for others its very important to find the one thats right for you this is what the expert says. Just an individual or generous in is unique and not even the best can map all the highly individualized elements that make a person and help them to develop an app make suggestions based on the aggregated data so it can never be tailored precisely to just one individual basically no user should ever follow is just blindly but always ask whether it really makes sense for them personally. However for a person in crisis any kind of support is better than none at all so even if it would make more sense to talk to a professional and help with at least give an indication of the direction somebody wants to move in and how they might want to develop so i would say use the apps but make sure you always question their advice.

Welcome to in good shape coming up. Giving birth by sarah what are the pros and cons. Plus breastfeeding why many Young Mothers struggle. Hello with welcome to in good shape my topic today is about one of the fascinating events in our life weve all gone through and talking about birth worldwide on average women have 2. 6 babies my wife and i have 2 kids its interesting to see whether word pregnant is derived from in different cultures in slavic languages pregnant is connected with the word burden in china however being pregnant means being lucky and im lucky too because im getting to meet dr named sister shes a midwife and she helped to deliver more than 1200 babies over the years and shes taken care of families from all then 60 different countries. Hello dr nice to meet here is to meet you were born in the u. S. You came to berlin 24 years ago and your midwife since 2001 i guess so how is it being a midwife is it still thrilling its absolutely amazing i love every day that i go to work every birth is different every woman is different its very unique every family is different and being at a birth is something that just makes my joy grow more and more i know the moment when a baby is born and then it really fills the room and as you can see yesterday i had an amazing birth and im still walking on clouds wow so even after all those years its still amazing absolutely i think nearly everybody of us knows how to get pregnant but when does a pregnancy start actually well pregnancy can be different pro woman than what her doctor says the doctor would say pregnancy starts when you see that heart is beating an embryo for a woman it could be that she feels pregnant. Before that that she knows that shes pregnant because her body is facing some women actually only feel pregnant when they feel the baby move then there are certain that the president what actually happens in the room during pregnancy when do the pet sure is nice in terms develop in the embryonic stage lets take a look at what is hidden from our eyes just this is one of the smallest human cells and this is the biggest a female ovum or xcel is even visible to the naked eye the male sperm cells however are tiny though they can still travel hundreds of times their own length and only a minute over a 1000000000 sperm cells can be released during a single of jackie elation that only the fastest will fertilize the egg when a sperm enters the ovum they combine to form the basis for a new human being. By the time 30 hours have elapsed the fertilized egg has divided into 2 cells inside 3 days there are 16 and they keep on dividing. As soon as the oddball shape blastocyst attaches itself to the womans uterus membrane she releases hormones which condition her body for pregnancy they ensure for instance that no more eggs ripen in the meantime. Thats why a missed period can be the 1st clear sign of pregnancy but the hormonal readjustments can also cause nausea. In the early weeks the placenta and umbilical cord form connecting the embryo with the mothers circulation and metabolism until birth its now high time to drop habits harmful to the child like Drinking Alcohol and smoking. Next the initial signs of a brain and spinal marrow appear the heart begins beating. Buds form which grow into limbs and digits the foetus gradually takes shape. The 1st 12 weeks are the most critical in a pregnancy during which 80 percent of all miscarriages take place usually because the fetus doesnt develop correctly. Growth accelerates from week 13 on the fetus takes up more space leaving less room for the mothers organs she may suffer shortness of breath or backache as a result. Survival rates for premature babies increased dramatically from the 24th week on but children born at this stage have a lot of catching up to do. The fetus still weighs less than half the average child born at full term but that changes rapidly around 4 weeks before birth the baby inverts its position in the womb to head down. The signal for birth is thought to come from the child as soon as its lungs are fully developed the combination of proteins and the mothers hormones trigger the powerful spasms of labor. Then its only a matter of hours before a brand new being emerges into the light of its 1st new day. When women announce that they are pregnant they got a lot of advice from friends but not every advice holds true. So lets ask a professional the both of those miss heres myth number one pregnant women have to eat for 2 this is an old wives tale ok this isnt true women should not eat for 2 during pregnancy they should think for 2 they should eat foods that are healthier but they shouldnt eat for 2 in the 1st 3 months of pregnancy they should only 100 calories more predate in the last 3 months of pregnancy only 400. 00 more calories per day myth number 2 if the mother to be has a round belly it will be a girl if she is appointed belly it will be a bawdy this is true and not true a woman who is smaller she doesnt have as much space between her diaphragm and between her pelvis so her belly is going to be more here more forward more in front of her for a woman whos taller it could be that her belly looks a little bit smaller even though her baby is bigger than the belly of the woman who smaller myth number 3 in some cultures people believe that the baby is dirty after birth you see any truth about this this is absolutely and there babies are not dirty when theyre born theyre born out of a sterile environment and its very important after birth that babies are in the 1st 24 hours we know that from the World Health Organization many mothers dont pay their babies for the 1st few days after birth the way that a baby smells is very important to give the woman cues for Breast Feeding and for bonding with her baby especially in the 1st 2 hours after birth its very important that the baby is together with the mother lange skin to skin and have the opportunity to breastfeed with number 4 in some cultures people want the 1st born child to be a boy and some believe that. Women are responsible for the child 6 the woman is absolutely not responsible if its going to be a boy or if its going to be a girl ive heard from some families ive taken care of here in berlin the women believe that if they pray hard enough or if they do some kind of purification ritual before they get pregnant that they can have a boy because thats what their family hopes for them to have but this isnt true its actually the man who is the deciding factor the sperm either has an x. Chromosome or y. Chromosome. Do you know which organ is usually this size. The uterus the uterus is the place where the embryo and later the fetus develops and for birth during this time this organised like a busy mom working 247 and it has real superpowers. Its pretty remarkable how much can happen in 9 months in a womans belly and embryo grows to the size of a baby and its home grows along with it the uterus before pregnancy the uterus is smaller than a pair and weighs around 60 grams but it already clearly is a major role in conception in the neck of the uterus or cervix glands produce whats called cervical mucus. During of humiliation the mucus project sperm cells and guides them to the egg at the same time the hormones progesterone and estrogen cause the mucous membrane of the uterus or endometrium to become more viscous so that a fertilized egg can implant
