ISPOR recently published its top trends influencing health care decision-making and identified wearable tech as an important source of real-world data. Read our blog, where YHEC’s CEO, Matthew Taylor, examines wearable technologies from a very personal standpoint: www.yhec.co.uk/resource/bal...
Graphic in orange and black. There is a headshot of YHEC CEO, Professor Matthew Taylor, and a quote: "In my case, my smartwatch could be considered a lifesaver. It flagged a potential problem that might have gone unnoticed until it was too late. My condition could (and probably would) have worsened to a point of no return... But while the benefits of these devices in tracking fitness, sleep, and even heart health are well known, they have potential drawbacks."
