Can You Trust Your Smart Watch To Give You Accurate Information? - With Dr Sian Allen

On todays podcast we chat to Dr Sian Allen.  In Sians work as a sports performance analyst she combines her skills in analytics, statistics, modelling, machine learning and data visualization to gain a deep understanding of human performance.  

Sian is a wealth of information on all things data driven in sport and I implore you to check out her Twitter where she has fantastic content around sleep, glucose effects, supplements, training, and much much more.

Today our chat is really centred around wearables.  How accurate exactly is the whoop, Fitbit, our ring and Apple Watch that you rely on each day to give you your health and well-being information and how we can use this sometimes flawed data in a healthy and constructive way. 

Sian is a scientist but has a wonderful way of explaining sometimes very nuanced information in a really digestible way.
