Fitness watches measure step by step, beat by beat, but they still miss certain aspects of health. This observation suggests we should be more cautious about the trust we place in these everyday devices.
Smartwatches count steps, monitor heart rate, and assess sleep quality. Yet, they remain silent on essential aspects of their wearers' health, whether biological markers, metabolic indicators, or psychological signals that current sensors cannot yet detect.
The question of the reliability of these devices is becoming increasingly acute, as their users place more and more trust in them to guide their lifestyle habits, and even their medical decisions.
Experts point out that these tools are intended to raise awareness, not as a substitute for a medical assessment performed by a healthcare professional.
