@JMV51 The goal is to continuously monitor our bodies with sophisticated wearables that catch health issues earlier, leading to better health outcomes than seeing a doc once a year

[Alex @sciencexplorer]

@JMV51 It will take time, but yes, digital health tech will reduce the role of docs for some medical conditions. However in the US, care is increasingly $$$ and many do not have access. Those lucky enough to have access spend 5-10 min per year with a doc. That's not a good relationship

[Alex @sciencexplorer]

@NeallDavid Patients will still have to go to a physician for initial diagnosis and treatment; however this tech may provide convenience and reduce healthcare costs by enabling patients to monitor hemoglobin levels and response to treatment on their own.

@JohnNosta I'll be upgrading my first generation stainless steel watch soon. I was originally planning to go with steel again, but decided that future upgrades will be less painful financially if I go with aluminum.

Analogous to the “check engine” lights in cars and planes today, in the future, we will have multiple internal and external body sensors relaying physiological information to the health dashboards on our smartphones and AR glasses #digitalhealth
