The future of wearables is moving beyond a fashion gadget to a must-have device for managing chronic health conditions. Value in this space is not only about chic products and quantifying the self; it’s about helping users change the behaviors that shape their long-term health. Fundamentally, this is not only an algorithmic challenge but a psychological one. Many of us already know how to be healthier, but what motivates us to actually change?
