Most of us will depend on equipment to stay healthy, or for help in our daily routine at some point in our lives. It could be glasses, contact lenses or a hearing aid to help with our vision or hearing. We might need crutches, a wheelchair or a stair lift to get around. We might depend on equipment for breathing, such as portable oxygen tanks or a nebuliser. Wearable healthcare technology is a growing trend – in future, more of us will use it to manage our fitness or to monitor a medical condition.
Your health and well-being can depend on a lot of expensive equipment, so it makes sense to check that you are covered in case of theft or damage.
