Wearable technologies, i.e., activity trackers and fitness watches, are extremely popular and have been increasingly integrated into medical research and clinical practice. To assist in optimizing health, wellness, or medical care, these devices require collaboration between researchers, healthcare providers, and wearable technology companies in order to clarify their clinical capabilities and educate consumers on the utilities and limitations of the wide-ranging wearable devices. Interestingly, activity trackers and fitness watches often track both health/wellness and medical information within the same device. In this commentary, we will focus our discussions regarding wearable technology on (1) defining and explaining the technical differences between tracking health, wellness, and medical information; (2) providing examples of health and wellness compared to medical tracking; (3) describing the potential medical benefits of wearable technology and its applications in clinical populations; and (4) elucidating the potential risks of wearable technology. We conclude that while wearable devices are powerful and informative tools, further research is needed to improve its clinical applications.
可穿戴技术，如活动追踪器和健身手表，非常受欢迎，并已越来越多地融入医学研究和临床实践中。为了帮助优化健康、健康或医疗保健，这些设备需要研究人员、医疗保健提供者和可穿戴技术公司之间的合作，以明确其临床能力，并教育消费者了解广泛的可穿戴设备的实用功能和局限性。有趣的是，活动追踪器和健身手表通常在同一设备中同时跟踪健康/健康和医疗信息。在本评论中，我们将重点讨论可穿戴技术的以下几个方面：（1）定义和解释跟踪健康、健康和医疗信息之间的技术差异；（2）提供健康和健康与医疗跟踪的比较示例；（3）描述可穿戴技术的潜在医疗益处及其在临床人群中的应用；（4）阐明可穿戴技术的潜在风险。我们的结论是，虽然可穿戴设备是强大且信息丰富的工具，但仍需要进一步研究来改善其临床应用。
