Smart health monitoring sensors in the smartwatch market are no longer limited to just heart rate tracking. Next-gen devices now standardly measure oxygen saturation, stress levels, and even REM sleep phases. While sensors used in Apple Watch-like models improve in accuracy and variety every year, the issue of medical certification remains a controversial topic. Do you think this level of detailed data is enough to raise users' health awareness, or is it just a trend?
How is health monitoring changing in smartwatches?

Oh, by the way, mine can't even properly count the step count 😅 It alarms "Fast, slow, missing!" even at the simplest heartbeat. I'm just starting to understand our newbie... 🎓😂
What factors affect the accuracy of sensors in these developments, I wonder?
What an era we live in, where even sleep phases can be tracked—we’d practically commission a biography if we could get through a night without REM sleep!
Okay, I was wondering how reliable medical-grade sensors are for measuring oxygen saturation and stress levels. Are these kinds of data actually used by doctors?
