Fitness Wearables
Sources:
has discussed fitness wearables in the context of their use in tracking sleep and fitness-related activities. In particular, he mentioned Whoop, a fitness wearable that provides feedback on training, sleep, and daily activities to optimize health. He commented on the importance of sleep and how wearables like Whoop can provide insights into the quality of sleep, the impact of daily activities on sleep, and vice versa. He explained that as a member of Whoop's scientific advisory council, he has firsthand experience with the benefits that their technology offers, not only in tracking sleep quality but also in understanding the relationship between daily activities and sleep performance 1.
Moreover, in discussing light exposure and mental health, referenced a study that equipped about 86,000 participants with wrist accelerometers that could measure ambient light. Although these devices were acknowledged as not being perfect, they acted as proxies for monitoring light exposure. He highlighted the need for an innovative eyeglass frame capable of indicating whether sufficient light has been received during the day. He also mentioned that while wrist-based devices like these aren't ideal, they are still directionally accurate for understanding light exposure's impact on mood and mental health 2.
