Wearables for Chronic Disease Prevention Management

From rings, watches, and smart devices, explore how wearable technology revolutionizes chronic disease prevention and management by providing real-time, patient-generated data. Hear from Registered Dietitians and telehealth technology experts on the risks and rewards of how person-driven data is shaping behavior changes, improving nutrition and fitness strategies, and potentially reducing long-term disease risk.

Objectives:

- Identify the latest wearable technologies and digital health peripherals (e.g., smartwatches, rings, biosensors, and continuous glucose monitors) to collect person-generated health data relevant to chronic disease prevention and management.

- Explain how real-time person data can support personalized care strategies for preventing, managing, and treating chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.

Evaluate the applications of wearable data in nutrition, physical activity, and clinical strategies to improve patient engagement and long-term health outcomes across all populations.
