Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the agency was launching a campaign to encourage all Americans to use wearables to track health metrics.
Wearables come in the form of watches, bands, rings, patches and clothes that can be used for a variety of reasons including monitoring glucose levels, measuring activity levels, track heart health and observe sleeping patterns.
"It's a way people can take control over their own heath. They can take responsibility," Kennedy said during a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Health. "They can see, as you know, what food is doing to their glucose levels, their heart rates and a number of other metrics as they eat it. and they can begin to make good judgments about their diet, about their physical activity, about the way that they live their lives."
He went on, "We think that wearables are a key to the MAHA agenda -- Making America Healthy Again. My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years.".................................

But, unlike you, I have never eaten methylmercury levels high enough to give me brain damage from 6 times/day tuna to build muscles for some self-perceived vanity project, nor road-kill, undercooked pork to give me neurocysticercosis.
FU, you slimy little defective brainworm.

(11,921 posts)Wore my wedding ring for a little while, always hated wristwatches. Crap like that is too dangerous to wear while working they can get caught on too many things and cause serious injuries.
So
no Booby, sorry
Bobby dont think so.
I once witnessed a horrific accident involving a ring. Later on, I quit wearing a watch as well.
