Wearable Health Tech: How Reliable Are They for Chronic Disease Management?

刊登時間

Wearable health technology has become a cornerstone of modern healthcare, offering the potential to transform chronic disease management.  Wearable technology is transforming healthcare by facilitating ongoing health monitoring and early detection of diseases:
1.Cardiology and Hypertension Management.
2.Respiratory Health and Asthma Management.
3.Neurological Applications: Seizure Detection and Parkinson’s Disease Management.
4.Endocrinology and Diabetes Management.

One of the primary concerns with wearable health devices is the accuracy and reliability of the data they collect. This variability is especially notable in sensor-based wearables. While wearables provide valuable insights, their data may not always be precise enough for critical medical decision-making.

Wearable health technology offers an exciting opportunity for the management of chronic diseases. However, challenges related to data accuracy, privacy concerns, cost, and system integration need to be addressed before wearables can realise their full potential in chronic disease management.
