Buying a smartwatch doesn't automatically make you healthier.
Smartwatches and fitness trackers can monitor your steps, heart rate, sleep, and daily activity.
But collecting health data is only one part of improving your health.
Marco Benitez (Digital Health Expert) explains why wearable technology works best as part of a much larger healthcare ecosystem.
Your smartwatch might tell you that you aren't moving enough.
But it can't make you exercise.
It might show changes in your sleep patterns.
But it can't automatically improve your sleeping habits.
And while health monitoring devices can provide useful information, they work alongside medical professionals, nutrition, exercise, and appropriate treatment.
The technology can help you understand your behaviors.
What matters is what you do with that information.
Has your smartwatch actually changed your daily habits, or do you mostly just check the numbers?
