Experts say devices like smartwatches that continually monitor your health data can also give you early warnings about medical problems before a doctor might. Correspondent David Pogue looks at how self-tracking data may one day help detect conditions like infectious diseases, type II diabetes, heart conditions or even cancer.

  1. Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

  2. I do not trust any of the manufacturers when they claim they do not share, sell or release our private health/medical data to 3rd parties. Apple was busted when they had Siri listening in to private conversations even though Siri was 'turned off' BS.

  3. I guess I'm just old school but I like saving my blood work information from year to year, even requesting it. Paper trails have become shorter and shorter. I want these hard copies securely in my hand not flashing in my face.

  4. Okey nice….but gear s still the decently winner UV light sensor to be able to read how dangerous the sun is.
    And yes it happend to me when I was on vacation and took at that time my zenwatch with me instead of my gear S and I turned into a different human being in skin tone 3 days later. And when I came back I wore for weeks at 25 degrees shirts with long arms to keep myself warm in my country
    It are nice applications , even if the quality can be different. But it dont have to be aquarate in perfectness to be able to tell a lot of informstion
    People hate charging tho….like hate it.ive worn it for like 8 years I think…..but my current is a versace versus

  5. I wonder why they didn't include the Garmin watch line which is superior to both Apple and Fitbit, however it doesn't have the AFIB feature so perhaps that's the difference maker for this interview.

  6. I've been saying ( my vision ) that wearables can change the world. But they are not the miracle – the human being is the miracle.
    And there is a huge gap in education, skills and maximizing the wearables potential.

  7. Apple has done some good things and Apple has done some bad things. Their only real competition for a phone OS is a company that was created to data mine individuals. From a pure business standpoint, Apple saw their differentiator in guarding users' privacy, and they have ramped up those efforts, to the point that Facebook complained about it. An Apple Watch is not going to spy on you.

    "Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair."

  8. If a device could monitor my glucose along with my heart rate, O2 level, etc., I’d be the first in line to buy one! Even if I had to wear a CGM elsewhere on my body that it could “talk” to continuously, I’d still be first in line.

  9. Many doctors have created YT videos explaining that Apple Watch’ ECG and AFIB monitoring is useless, while other metrics are more relevant. Doctors also fear that people may rely on their watch to avoid going to the doctor for monitoring because the watch provides false reassurances.

  10. In March I was feeling not so great, but nothing was wrong. Next day I wake to my Apple watch telling me I had arterial fibrillation over night and my pulse was still elevated. Called 911, Seattle FD medics confirmed this and off to the ER. After some time in ICU, and a shock, I was stabilized. Thank you Apple engineers and future thinking medical researchers.

    You saved my life.

  11. Wow this is sal rich people live that's great I is this must be California because you don't see any other homeless people wearing any of these or maybe the government can buy them and give it out to the homeless people in California they do need to wear these things and considering they can't afford it maybe a couple can supplement it I would agree to pay for this to every homeless person people on food stamps and all those people on social security they're the ones that can't afford to eat healthy
