Wearable Tech for Health and More
Smartwatches are just the start. An expanding range of wearable technology offers health monitoring and help with health challenges. The latest options include…
Blood-sugar monitor for people who don’t have diabetes
Abbott Lingo biosensor
People with diabetes have long used wearable devices to monitor their blood-sugar levels. Now the new Abbott Lingo biosensor can do the same for people who don’t have diabetes or who have pre-diabetes. This small sensor, which is worn on the back of the upper arm, monitors real-time blood-sugar levels over two weeks, generating data and providing personalized advice for managing metabolism, weight control and reducing the odds of becoming diabetic down the road. A two-week monitoring plan that includes one biosensor costs $49. Biosensors can be worn for two weeks but cannot be reused. Longer plans featuring multiple biosensors also are available. An iOS device such as an iPhone is required.
Sleep apnea monitoring smartwatches
Apple Watch
The FDA has now approved several smartwatches for sleep apnea detection, including the Apple Watch Series 9, 10 and Ultra 2…and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. This smartwatch feature truly can improve watch wearers’ lives—left untreated, sleep apnea can lead not only to chronic fatigue, but also to increased risk for high blood pressure, stroke, dementia, diabetes and other serious health problems. The sleep-apnea detection features are included for free in the operating systems’ software updates.
Smart rings
Oura Ring
If you don’t like wearing a watch when you sleep…or if smartwatch styling is too obtrusive for your tastes…a high-tech health-monitoring ring is an alternative. The Oura Ring ($249 to $349 plus a $5.99/month subscription, compatible with iPhone or Android) and Samsung Galaxy Ring ($399.99, no subscription required, compatible with Android) look like conventional gold or platinum rings but serve many of the same functions as smartwatches, monitoring things sleep quality, heart rate, activity levels and more. Unlike smartwatches, smart rings don’t feature screens—the data they gather is provided via a smartphone app. That lack of a screen means they have impressive battery life, often upward of a week per charge. Apple is rumored to have a smart ring of its own coming out soon—and when Apple enters a product category, it often means that category is about to become much more popular. These may even be eligible for purchase with your HSA.
