Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
Doctors are skeptical about the use of wearable technology for health monitoring due to concerns over data accuracy, potential for hypochondria, and lack of standardized data formats. While wearables like smart rings and watches can track various health metrics, clinicians often prefer to verify data with their own equipment. The integration of patient-generated data into healthcare systems remains a challenge, despite potential benefits in community healthcare settings.
