Your smartwatch tracks your heart rate, sleep, and health metrics. But how accurate are those numbers?
Millions of people rely on wearable technology to monitor their health, from Apple Watches and fitness trackers to smart rings and blood pressure monitors.
But there's an important question.
Can you actually trust the information these devices collect?
Marco Benitez (Digital Health Expert at Rook) explains how wearable technology is evolving, with some devices and specific medical features receiving FDA clearance.
As health tracking technology improves, certain wearables are moving beyond basic fitness monitoring and becoming useful tools in healthcare.
But not every smartwatch is a medical device.
And not every health metric has the same level of accuracy.
The reliability of wearable health data depends on the device, the measurement, and how that information is interpreted.
As more doctors begin incorporating wearable technology into patient care, understanding the difference between fitness tracking and medically validated measurements becomes increasingly important.
Do you trust the health data from your smartwatch, or do you sometimes question its accuracy?
