Wearable monitoring technology and health trackers have emerged in the last decade and are now becoming part of our daily lives. From Fitbits, to the Apple Watch, to athletic wear that has implanted sensors, we now have the opportunity to track heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, blood sugar, respiratory rate and many other biological data points that can provide insight into the minute-to-minute performance of our bodies. The amount of data generated by these devices is staggering and allows patients to become more involved and engaged in their own care.
