Wearables: From Step Counters to Medical Devices

From smartwatches to smart rings, wearables are everywhere — but not all of them are created equal. Some are true medical devices, others are wellness tools, and some are little more than flashy gimmicks.

In this episode, Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod breaks down:

• The benefits of wearables for both patients and clinicians

• The difference between medical-grade features and wellness tracking

• What to look out for before investing in a device

• Why some metrics may add anxiety, not value

If you’ve ever wondered whether your wearable is giving you health insights you can trust — or just adding noise — this episode is for you.
