Wearable monitoring devices, like Fitbits or Apple Watches, are increasingly popular for tracking heart health through metrics like steps, heart rate, and EKG readings. However, the recommendation of 10,000 steps per day is arbitrary; research suggests 6,000 to 9,000 steps may lower cardiovascular disease risk for older adults. Despite benefits, only 25% of at-risk individuals use these devices consistently, often due to cost or technological barriers. While they offer valuable feedback and can aid early diagnosis, overreliance may lead to unnecessary stress. Medical-grade devices, like chest straps, offer more accurate data, particularly during exercise. Despite challenges, integrating these devices into healthcare can save time and improve patient autonomy. Dr. Patel recommends gifting devices to older patients and educating them on usage, emphasizing moderation to avoid undue stress.
