What Your Smartwatch Isn't Telling You

Today, millions of people track their sleep, heart rate, stress and activity using smartwatches and fitness trackers. But are we making full use of these devices, or are we simply checking numbers without knowing what to do next? Michelle Martin speaks with Edwan Chiam, Founder of Signsbeat, about how wearable technology could evolve from passive tracking to personalised health guidance. Edwan noticed the health of people around him was taking sharp turns; that inspired him and his  co-founder to launch Singapore health-tech startup Signsbeat. Their mission? To help people move beyond simply collecting health data and start understanding what that data is really telling them.  They discuss how Singaporeans are using smartwatches today, the health metrics that matter most, common misconceptions about wearable data, and how better interpretation of physiological signals could empower individuals to make smarter decisions about their health and wellbeing.
