Human Resources (HR) encompasses the entire scope of labor, including establishing, cultivating, and managing the employer-employee relationship. Businesses can be small, medium-sized, or large, and depending on the size, the right workforce is needed to keep things running properly. As a result, the necessity for labor optimization is becoming apparent, as it aids in the efficiency of operations. Workforce optimization accomplishes this by matching skills and resources to a specific job, allowing the HR manager to analyze an employee’s contribution and performance, recording performance data in a structured format to aid decisionmaking, tracking work progress, and identifying missed goals. This aids in the identification of an employee’s strengths and limitations.

Technology plays a very important role in the healthcare and medical fields. Several technological equipment and devices such as digital thermometers, insulin pumps, smart inhaler pulse oximeters, blood glucose meters, wireless brain sensors have been designed for better healthcare. In the medical field, over 500,000 technological devices are being used in hospital settings and various other healthcare facilities. With growing technology in healthcare, there have been advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors that improve patient safety, information accuracy, and critical quality control. Healthcare technology has the potential to improve the use of sensors in the medical sector.

Medical gloves are personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect HCPs and/or patients from infection or illness during medical procedures and examinations. They are elements of infection-control strategy and are used when the user’s hands touch body fluids, including blood, respiratory secretions, vomit, urine or feces, certain hazardous drugs, or potentially contaminated items. Medical gloves are disposable and include both examination gloves and surgical gloves. Compared with examination gloves, surgical gloves offer better sizing with better precision and sensitivity and maintain a higher standard. Examination gloves are available as either sterile or non-sterile, while surgical gloves are generally sterile. Both surgical and examination gloves can also be used for handling chemotherapy agents for cancer treatment. 

A recreational or pleasure boat is a vehicle built to move in waters close to shores or inland waterways. Leisure vessels are classified as boats used for recreational activities such as hunting, kayaking, and canoeing, among others. Apart from recreational activities, these vessels are also used for commercial purposes such as water travel and short-distance freight. The global recreational boat market is witnessing steady growth despite witnessing a drastic decline during the global recession of 2008−2009. However, the market is yet to achieve pre-recession levels in terms of retail sales worldwide.

Regenerative medicine (RM) is a multidisciplinary research field that involves the use of engineered products to restore and regenerate damaged or diseased tissues in the human body. It is an innovative therapeutic intervention that entails stem cell and gene therapies to cure life-threatening disorders such as cancers and other rare diseases. In addition, RM involves patient-centric biomedical procedures to repair and restore damaged organs using stem cell and tissue-engineered products.

Intravenous (IV) therapy helps to deliver medications, fluids, and other nutrients directly into the body through veins. IV therapy is used during lifesaving therapeutic treatment and in wellness treatment. Since ancient times, blood therapy has been around, and blood has been viewed as a therapeutic substance. However, lack of proper understanding of blood types, infectious agents, and the absence of ideal materials such as plastics held back IV therapy for centuries. Later, IV therapy became the fastest way of delivering blood products, medications, vitamins, or other vital fluids. IV therapy is usually provided to the patient with the help of an intravenous catheter, either through an injection with a syringe or infusion.

The personalized nutrition approach is based on customized nutritional intake and personal diet as per an individual’s personal health goals. Personalized nutrition plans improve health and minimize risks associated with developing several chronic conditions such as obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Each individual has unique dietary requirements as some people opt for customized food for good hair, skin, and nails, while some prefer foods with the least environmental impact. Several consumers adopt ideal diet plans based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. Nutrient intake and dietary plans can be adjusted according to the personal health goals of people.

Prescribed hours of sleep are necessary to maintain a healthy body and sound mental well-being. However, due to several risk factors such as work-related stress, alternate work shifts, mental health problems, unhealthy lifestyles, increasing prevalence of obesity, and increasing use of technology are affecting the sleep patterns of people. Almost one billion people across the world suffer from some form of sleep disorder, some of which make it harder to sleep, while some make it harder to be awake. Based on physiology, each disease varies in severity. Insomnia is the most prevalent disease across the globe, which is characterized by a struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep, and/or feeling exhausted after waking up. Acute insomnia is the most common form of the disease, which is generally the result of any trauma. Another highly prevalent disease is sleep apnea, with an estimated prevalence of almost a billion. The traditional approach for tackling sleep disorders has always been looking for treatment after diagnosing the disease.

Healthy sex life is a human aspect that has a massive impact on one’s overall wellness. Continuous efforts are being made to spread the awareness of sexual wellness. With end-users getting more educated, along with incremental advancements in technology enabling people to explore the healthy aspects of their sexual life, the concept of sexual wellness has started to achieve significant recognition worldwide.

Nutrition plays a significant role in sports performance. Sports nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition and diet for improving an individual’s athletic performance. Nutrition is an important part of most sports training regimens and popular strength sports such as weightlifting and bodybuilding and endurance sports such as running, swimming, cycling, and rowing. Sports nutrition focuses on the type and quantity of fluids and food consumed by an athlete. In addition, it deals with the consumption of nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, supplements, natural and organic substances that include protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
