Medical devices are technology products designed to take specific health or biometric measures. These may be portable, used at home, or worn (a wearable device). The term medical device does not mean it clinically accurate nor that it is approved by regulators such as the FDA.
Please always consult your doctor. Medical devices should never replace the expertise of a health professional or be relied upon for a diagnosis or saving a life.
