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.

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.

It's just a matter of time before this data will be sold and linked to credit scores, insurance premiums, and corporate-owned life insurance plans.

The Apple Watch has been a lifesaver for many people, particularly those with heart conditions. Being able to share with the Dr what the heart is doing is a true blessing.

The only Apple Watch I have for the moment, is myself “watching” that I eat Granny Smith “apples”, each and every morning.

Love my Garmin Instinct. Garmin is the best for training and really diving into your workout stats. Been using a Garmin bike computer since 2012, now have a Garmin 530 and the Instinct syncs my BPM with it.

They should combine all these apps in a device modeled to look like an old-school Star Trek tricorder.

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.

I don't understand the bias with Apple. Samsung has a smart watch. All you hear nowadays is Apple.

They have your health info now but that’s only if you share it.

My sleep number bed app said my heartrate was elevated four days prior to any Covid symptoms. I then tested positive when I lost my senses of smell and taste.

So many folks really need a glucose monitoring system. Put your coffers into this feature. You will sell millions more.

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.
