Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants everyone to use wearables.

Kennedy said his vision is for every American to have a wearable within 4 years .

Digital medicine experts said there are benefits to wearables, mostly in the form of motivation to change behaviors.

There are also privacy concerns because of the substantial amounts of data that wearables generate.

McManus said if a database gets hacked, the data could be compromised and potentially used by a bad actor to steal additional personal information.

Alshurafa said not everyone needs to wear a wearable and it depends on the patient's condition and what they hope to achieve.
