Wearables take a ‘step’ beyond fitness w/ João Bocas

You can find a wearable on just about any wrist these days - or finger, or even a shirt. The point is: Wearables are evolving. No longer the simple step trackers of the early 2000s, wearable technology has reached out into the world of heart rate monitors and even O2 sensors. But with that evolution comes a boatload of data. How that data is disseminated and handled could be the key to wearables revolutionizing healthcare across the board.
