Use of Wearable Devices in Individuals With or at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease in the US, 2019 to 2020

Abstract

Among individuals with or at risk for CVD, fewer than 1 in 4 use wearable devices, with only half of those reporting consistent daily use. As wearable devices emerge as tools that can improve cardiovascular health, the current use patterns could exacerbate disparities unless there are strategies to ensure equitable adoption.
