This document discusses how consumer wearable technology is driving innovation in health and medical devices. It notes that optical sensing, like PPG, has improved to the point where wearables can accurately measure biometrics. While consumer fitness trackers have issues with accuracy, studies show wearables can detect conditions like atrial fibrillation. The document argues successful medical wearables will require understanding both consumer and clinical markets and performing rigorous clinical validation of sensor accuracy and use cases before seeking FDA approval.
