How are wearable technologies influencing epidemiology?
Wearable Technologies such as fitness trackers and smartwatches are becoming valuable tools in epidemiological research. These devices collect continuous health data, including physical activity, heart rate, and sleep patterns. This real-time data can be used to study the relationship between lifestyle factors and health outcomes. Wearable technologies also provide an opportunity for remote health monitoring, making it easier to conduct longitudinal studies and improve patient compliance.
