Doctors Express Caution Over Wearable Health Technology
Despite the booming industry of wearable health technology, many doctors remain skeptical about the reliability of data collected by devices like smart rings and watches. While some healthcare professionals recognize the potential for continuous health monitoring, others, such as Dr. Helen Salisbury, argue it may lead to unnecessary anxiety and false alarms. Concerns over accuracy, data interpretation, and the risk of fostering hypochondria dominate the conversation among medical experts. Industry giants like Apple continue to market their products based on success stories, but critical voices caution against over-reliance on technology for health management.
