Next-gen wearables (e.g CGMs @levels/ @veristable, trackers @ouraring/ @whoop, etc) make all this possible.
They enable you to:
- seamlessly and passively monitor key vitals![Stethoskop 🩺](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1fa7a.png)
- understand your body's unique responses![Balkendiagramm 📊](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f4ca.png)
- detect when things are abnormal![Hammer und Schraubenschlüssel 🛠](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f6e0.png)

But without proper expertise, structure & guidance, all this new data can be a double-edged sword ![Gekreuzte Schwerter ⚔️](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/2694.png)
The "Fitbit collecting dust in a drawer after a few months" phenomenon is real for many people, who find the data not actionable and overwhelming

A 2020 University of Copenhagen study found that fitness-tracker use:
- increases motivation to exercise
, and feeling in tune with overall health
- increases fear and/or guilt
, particularly when wearers don’t meet their fitness goals or have alarming health metrics
- increases motivation to exercise

- increases fear and/or guilt

Researchers concluded that in order for these devices to be most useful, people needed guidance from health professionals to interpret the data correctly ![Balkendiagramm 📊](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f4ca.png)
