What Are the Benefits of Wearable Devices in Epidemiological Studies?
Wearable devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, provide continuous monitoring of physiological parameters like heart rate, physical activity, and sleep patterns. In epidemiological studies, these devices offer the advantage of collecting large volumes of high-quality data without relying on patient recall. This data can be used to study the relationship between lifestyle factors and health outcomes, enhance predictive models, and personalize preventive strategies.
