Wearable Digital Devices

From watches and rings to patches and implants, these devices empower people to make informed decisions about their health — based on their own unique data — from the embedded sensors that monitor bodily activities, such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate.

For the healthcare industry, wearable devices offer the opportunity to access that patient data to help facilitate prevention, make early diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, and manage chronic conditions more efficiently and beyond the boundaries of traditional health care settings1. As a result, wearables have the potential to enable industry-wide benefits, such as reducing healthcare costs, enabling value-based healthcare, reducing public health disparities, and making healthcare more personalized for patients.
