A technology company is developing a new wearable fitness tracker.

The fitness tracker contains several built-in physical components, including a heart rate monitor, an accelerometer sensor, and a small OLED display screen.

The tracker runs various software applications, including an algorithm that processes real-time sensor data to count steps, a system to sync data wirelessly via Bluetooth, and a user interface menu for changing device settings.

Discuss the characteristics of high-level and low-level programming languages that make them suitable for developing software for this fitness tracker.

You should consider:

  • The built-in physical components and sensors
  • The applications and software tasks
