Digital health tools and wearables - are they clinical assets or just fancy gadgets?

In the last decade, digital health technologies such as mobile apps, wearables, and remote monitoring systems/equipments have rapidly entered the mainstream. From tracking heart rate, sleep patterns, and blood glucose to delivering mental health interventions, these tools promise to make healthcare more proactive, personalized, and accessible to everyone.

But, are these tools backed by enough clinical evidence?

Are they being integrated effectively into the medical practice?

And how do we ensure that both patients and providers actually benefit from them?

Overall, how do we balance these innovations with regulation to ensure safety, efficacy, and data privacy?

They can only provide safety measures or do first aid treatment to them like providing insulin while there are insulin deficiency. But like doctors they can’t handle them it is better to keep them for first aid treatment and suggest doctor for further progress
