How Do Wearable Technologies Contribute to Epidemiology?
Wearable devices such as fitness trackers and smartwatches collect continuous health data, including physical activity, heart rate, and sleep patterns. This real-time data can be aggregated and analyzed to monitor population health trends, detect early signs of epidemics, and study the impact of lifestyle on health outcomes. The integration of wearable technology data in epidemiological studies enhances the granularity and accuracy of health assessments.
