While wearables offer valuable health insights, it’s still up to us to change our behavior. Next-gen devices, however, promise to bridge that gap by making it easier to act on those insights.
@Brooks Leitner, MD, PhD - I love this article and have begun/have "had to" discuss the use of next generation wearables with the patients who come to see to wrestle with their mood, mindset and other issuses such as movement - The Trifecta of M's in heath & wellness.
Now what I want to know Brooks is when are we going to get together to design a first of it's kind mental health wearable watch? AI here we come! 🫶⌚🧐
Thanks! Yes, undoubtedly your patients will have a device that (at least theoretically) uses personal data to improve mental health. I think practically, would begin with movement and sleep.
Will definitely keep you posted as we see more technology able to measure and modulate mood and mindset— sounds like an important problem that needs creativity (and AI 😉)
Great article! Those last few questions really resonated with me--I’ve been wondering the same. It makes me think: are these decisions ones we actually enjoy making, or would we feel a void without them? Or maybe a "new normal" will emerge, with different decisions taking their place.

Also I liked your categories of wearables! :)
