Having evaluated and reviewed over 150 digital health devices and services; and staying abreast of emerging trends, we have quite an experience in the diverse wearable options available for various body areas. In this infographic, we summarized the vast potential of wearable health technologies to contribute to patients’ care and especially medical decision-making by showing what vital signs and health parameters those digital health technologies could measure and on what body parts. While smartwatches and fitness trackers are pretty common nowadays, the infographic features some less common devices too.  Do you use any of them? Have we missed anything? Please let us know!
