Do Daily Movement Patterns Predict Longevity in Older Adults?
Wearables may reveal whether how older adults move through the day predicts mortality beyond step counts and total activity. Here's what the evidence shows.
Wearables Raise Activity, but They Don’t Prevent Disease
Can a wearable improve your health? Evidence shows modest gains in steps and walking, while device data may sharpen, rather than prove, risk estimates.
Wearable Trackers Don’t Sustain Activity on Their Own
Wearable activity trackers can measure movement, but two randomized trials found they did not sustain activity or cut sitting without stronger support.
Wearable Monitoring in AF: Promising Outcome Results, Caveats
A 2026 meta-analysis reports fewer strokes, deaths, and hospitalizations with supervised wearable monitoring in diagnosed AF, with major caveats for consumer screening.
