Health trackers track metrics like physical activity, sleep, heart rate, and mental health status, providing us with a wealth of data. But as I see with my patients, most people just use them for monitoring, not progress. That's just the first step. 📈 The real power lies in using this data to make progress. Here's how: 1. Choose a focus area 🗒 - Pick one lifestyle domain to concentrate on at a time. Maybe you want to eat healthier, get more active, or improve your sleep. 2. Set specific goals 🎯 - For example, "I am going to complete 150 minutes of cardio per week," or "I aim for 7 hours of sleep each night this week." 3. Leverage your devices ⏱ - Use your smartwatch or mHealth app to track progress. 4. Daily or weekly check-ins ✅ - Regularly assess your progress and adjust as needed. 5. Celebrate small wins 🌟 - Do this to stay motivated! 6. Level up ⬆ - Once you've mastered one area, tackle another or combine them. Let's make those numbers mean something. Take control of your health journey today. Associated article: 1. Vaghefi I, Tulu B. (2019). The Continued Use of Mobile Health Apps: Insights From a Longitudinal Study.

Since Glucare.Health has partnered with ŌURA Ring, we've have integrated its data into our application and the insights it provides have exceeded my expectations! ✅ The ŌURA Ring offers a detailed analysis of sleep cycles, including REM and deep sleep, and measures sleep efficiency. With the strong link between sleep quality, blood sugar, and appetite levels, it’s a game-changer for diabetes and weight management! Beyond sleep, the ring tracks blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate variability, exercise levels, and even menstrual cycles. It also detects stress levels, a crucial feature for people with diabetes given the close relationship between glucose and both physiological and psychological stress. I've only been using it for a short time, but I can already see myself becoming a loyal user. It's incredibly accurate and much more comfortable to sleep with compared to other wearables.👌🏻 Now, Type 2 Diabetes patients can have access to a complimentary ŌURA ring (T&C apply) coupled with a free subscription GluCare.Health 💎 Exciting times ahead for our patients and us! #Diabetes #HealthTech #SleepQuality #WearableTech #OuraRing

🎥 Harnessing Smart Watches for Health: A Balanced Approach 🎥 Hello, LinkedIn family; Dr. Kirsten Grant here. Today, I want to discuss the dual-edged sword of using smartwatches to enhance our health. 🚀👀 Smartwatches have become indispensable tools for many, offering detailed insights into our daily health metrics like sleep patterns, heart rate, and activity levels. Ensuring quality sleep is crucial, and these devices can be fantastic aids in achieving that. 🌙💤 However, it's important to address a significant concern: for those who are highly sensitive to numbers, these devices can sometimes be more triggering than helpful. This is especially true for clients who might feel overwhelmed by constant monitoring and the pressure to meet certain health metrics. 📉❗ In this video, I dive into how we can use smartwatches effectively. It’s all about finding the right balance and using technology to enhance our well-being, not detract from it. 👇 I’d love to hear from you! How do you use your smartwatch to improve your health? Have you or someone you know ever felt overwhelmed by these devices? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. Let’s discuss how we can leverage technology mindfully and healthfully. #HealthTech #SmartWatches #DigitalWellness #MentalHealthAwareness #DrKirstenGrant ✨ Interested in a more personalized approach to using health tech?

Humans are rather poor at recognizing when their mental state may not be too good at making key decisions. Now research by a team led by Prof. Daniel Forger at the University of Michigan underpins the development of a new wearable-based app called ‘Social Ribbons’. It will warn when it may be inopportune to be undertaking key tasks while at work. We already know that lack of sleep can lead to poor decision-making (see https://lnkd.in/g6_P5XY). However the researchers added another variable, the phasing of individual body clocks. 2,500 first-year resident physicians were tracked over 2 years using Fitbit wearables that recorded when they were awake and, using some unique algorithms, derived their Circadian rhythm patterns. Each subject noted their mood daily. The cohort was an ideal population - first year residency is known for its long and irregular hours on duty and the stressful and unexpected situations that are confronted. As the charts indicate, both the number of wake hours AND Circadian phases influence mood. As found in earlier research, the longer awake, the greater the impact on mood and concomitant ability to make rational decisions. But, additionally, mood swings become greater the longer the awake period. In such cases, knowing where you are in the Circadian rhythm becomes a key factor in the ability to perform at work. Quoting Dr. Forger, "People are not very good at assessing what the state of their biological clock is, and they're actually not so good at assessing how well they've slept, and that's why all these wearables are providing a lot more information to people." The research is reported in the January 2024 volume of Digital Health https://bit.ly/3J3XapI .
