Heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and chronic illnesses like diabetes and are all tracked by wearables, which have progressed from step trackers to AI-powered health monitors. With real-time insights provided by gadgets like Fitbits, Apple Watches, and CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems) early intervention and individualized care are made possible.

Wearable health trackers can possible detect the abnormalities, but it cannot be used to diagnose or confirm the underlying condition. Wearables can possible help in having a track of our body’s activities such as oxygen, sugar levels, sometimes blood pressure, and when an abnormality is found it is better to recheck it in clinics or hospitals under the guidance of a professional.

Yes, wearable devices can significantly contribute to improving long-term health outcomes. They enable proactive health management, continuous data collection, and facilitate behavior change, ultimately leading to better disease management and prevention.
But all this is only when the individual is motivated to change.

They can help us with continuous monitoring of our data which can’t be practically done through traditional studies
