<strong>Wellness</strong> Technology:<br />
Tech-Driven vs Tech-Dependent<br />
The wellness industry is being transformed by technology as we<br />
adapt to touchless therapies, bio-monitors and the greater role of<br />
tech-driven programs in delivering integral wellness experiences.<br />
There is something for everyone in wellness technology, from<br />
the reception to the treatment room, even in the most organic<br />
setting. Technology has moved on to a spectrum of deliverables<br />
for optimizing the guest experience such as guest-centric online<br />
reservations management with Resort Suite’s Guest Ex and fullscale<br />
neuro-sensorial experiences and specialized treatments such<br />
as Zero Body or the Lemi Dream tables. In a recent collaboration<br />
with manufacturer Gharieni, an evidence-based study designed by<br />
Dr Sergio Pecorelli verified the beneficial effects of this technology<br />
on the central nervous system and the anti-inflammatory response<br />
of the body.<br />
Properties are targeting specific health issues and restful sleep<br />
is one priority. Some use on-demand lighting to promote healthy<br />
circadian sleep cycles and apps for meditation and relaxation, such<br />
as Muse, Kokoon or Sana, monitor the brain's electrical activity and<br />
encourage a more relaxed mental state. Linens such as Nolapelli<br />
use patented technology to prevent moisture loss that can damage<br />
skin.<br />
Whether a trend or a new industry norm, wearable technology can<br />
add to the guest experience as evidenced at one Four Seasons<br />
resort, who have partnered with WHOOP for their Optimal Wellbeing<br />
Programme. Wearable products range from activity trackers to fullblown<br />
remote health monitoring with an array of biometric sensors<br />
to customize experiences.<br />
<strong>Wellness</strong> centers are also venturing into energy and quantum<br />
medicine, such as the Carillon Hotel in Miami Beach, who<br />
have partnered with Energy Medicine Centers. Diagnostic and<br />
biofeedback technology such as the SCIO or BIOWELL devices are<br />
helping bridge the gap between the energetic and emotional realm<br />
of wellness and scientific data and evidence.<br />
The future of wellness technology promises to blend clinical,<br />
medical environments and traditional spa and wellness. The year<br />
2020 left consumers over-stressed mentally and physically, ‘burnout’<br />
is becoming too expensive to ignore. Technology is the result of<br />
human creativity, an answer to a need or inquiry. Wellbeing too is<br />
dependent on the inner experience and the balancing of emotional,<br />
mental and physical aspects of self. As humans evolve, technology<br />
will continue to innovate, driven by human inquiry, shaping and<br />
creating new tools for a more holistic experience of wellbeing.<br />
