Share Your Experience: Health Tech and Wearable Devices
One of the most celebrated things about wearable devices — such as the Fitbit or the Apple Watch — is how these devices can help us set and reach fitness and health goals. They can count our steps, track our walking and running distance, and even tell us how many calories we've burned. Seeing these numbers add up can feel like a game, and earning things like virtual badges and encouraging notifications for hitting your daily goals can be a fun and rewarding way to stay on track with your personal achievements.1
These devices often do more than just count steps, though. Many of them can also tell us our heart rates, both during exercise and when we're resting. This information can help us understand how our body can tell us more about our health through trends in our measurements. Some devices can even track our sleep, giving us a better idea of our sleep patterns and how to get better rest. By making it easy to see our progress and giving us gentle reminders, wearable devices can turn our health goals into an exciting and achievable adventure.1
