Technology Explained

Wearables

Wearable devices are technology designed to be worn on the body, often to monitor and track data related to health, fitness, and other personal metrics, and can enable additional capabilities such as voice, phone calls, music or detecting falls.  Always consult your doctor. Wearables may assist, but should never replace medical advice, professional diagnosis, nor be relied upon for saving a life.
