This year, a new technology is enhancing the safety and well-being of pilgrims: a smart watch designed to monitor vital signs. The device, about the size of a regular watch, continuously tracks heart rate, blood pressure, and other key indicators. "This is a game-changer," said one medical official overseeing the Hajj health operations. "The real-time data allows us to respond to emergencies much faster than before." The watch also includes a GPS feature, enabling medical teams to quickly locate pilgrims who need assistance. In addition to monitoring health, the watch allows pilgrims to easily request help if they experience any issues. This technology represents a significant step forward in ensuring the safety of the millions of pilgrims who participate in the Hajj each year, providing peace of mind for both the pilgrims and their families.
