No stronger reason on the planet not to wear them: He recommends them, likely wants to require them, and they are glorified data trackers.

"US Health Secretary Kennedy says HHS to launch campaign to encourage wearable devices"

"We think that wearables are a key to the MAHA agenda, Making America Healthy Again ... my vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years," Kennedy said.

NO. JUST NO.

📱 Wie verbreitet sind #Wearables in 🇩🇪 zur Erfassung von #Gesundheitsdaten – und wer nutzt diese Geräte?

In einer aktuellen Publikation geht es um den Einsatz von Fitnessarmbändern, Fitnesstrackern und Smartwatches – und ihr Potential für die Gewinnung von Informationen in Gesundheitsstudien.

ℹ️ Ein Fazit: Gesundheitsdaten aus Wearables sind vielversprechend – aber sie spiegeln nicht die Gesamtbevölkerung wider. Wer keine Geräte nutzt, bleibt datenmäßig „unsichtbar“.

JMIR mHealth and uHealthConsumer Wearable Usage to Collect Health Data Among Adults Living in Germany: Nationwide Observational Survey StudyBackground: The usage of consumer wearables (CWs; for example, fitness trackers and smartwatches) in the population has increased enormously within the last decade. This has resulted in a large amount of digital person-generated health data that could be used to answer vital research questions. However, little is currently known about the usage of CWs to collect health data from the population living in Germany. Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the ownership of consumer wearables and their usage for the collection of health data from the adult population living in Germany as well as the motives for the collection of health data and the average wear times. In addition, we aimed to investigate sociodemographic and health- and behaviour-related differences between the group of CW users and the group of non-users. Methods: We used data from the nationally representative survey “German Health Update”, which was conducted through telephone interviews in 2021 and 2022. The final sample comprised 4,464 adults aged 18 years and older. We derived weighted prevalences for the usage of CWs and adjusted odds ratios for the association between the ownership and the usage of CWs with sociodemographic and health- and behaviour-related variables. Results: Of the adult population, 19.3% (843 out of 4459) owned a CW, of whom 77.8% (650 out of 842) used their CW to collect health data (which corresponds to 15.0%, 650 out of 4458, of the adult population). Older people, people with a low income and people with a lower level of physical activity, were less likely to own a CW and were less likely to use it for the collection of health data. Of the CW users who collected health data, 47.2% (321 out of 650) wore their CW during nocturnal sleep. The most frequently named motives for the collection of health data with a CW were “to observe my physical activity” (85.0%, 544 out of 647), “for fun” (79.0%, 508 out of 644) and “for support during exercising” (66.3%, 423 out of 647). Women chose the motive “to observe my physical activity” and “to increase my physical activity” more often than men, whereas men chose the motive “to observe health issues” more often than women. Conclusions: Adults living in Germany owning a CW are younger, have a higher income and are more physically active than individuals who do not use a CW. This means that the population groups that would be in particular need of health care are not sufficiently represented in these health datasets. Researchers should consider the selectivity of CW users when planning to use CW health data to answer research questions.

Is there an easy way to remotely monitor another person's pulse? My partner and I are getting older, and sleep in different rooms at different times. We've both worried about the other dying unbeknownst. I wear a pulse watch, but don't know if it will do what I want. Any ideas, friends? I'd like us to be able to glance at a screen and see a heartbeat. #ageing #wearables #wearable #disability

Why so sad techbro? Tariffs getting you low?

"Man, I think I picked a really difficult time to get back into manufacturing hardware."

(Eric is actually my favourite techbro, but it's kind of a low bar. And now he has a podcast. Which he daftly titled "Tick Talk", despite there already existing a product in his market space, the "TickTalk" kids smartwatch... CDO probably already being written...)
