The wearable health boom is creating a data overload for doctors - what happens next

The ZDNET article examines how the proliferation of consumer wearables creates a flood of health data that clinicians struggle to use—highlighting challenges in EHR integration, metric validity, governance, and clinician workflow. It describes efforts to improve interoperability (e.g., acquisitions, open-source projects), the potential for AI to synthesize data, and emerging clinical guidance, while noting that wearables can both produce useful alerts and generate noise that complicates care.
