How Much Can Data from Smartwatches Help with Health Care?
Published
The Garmin Health Summit 2026 was held in Thailand for the first time. The event focused on using wrist-worn data to support health care, and was attended by people interested in health and technology.
Wearable devices such as smartwatches can record many kinds of user data, such as step counts, sleep, and heart rate. This data helps users see an overview of their own body each day more easily.
The event also presented the Garmin Health Awards and announced the winners of two projects. These projects show that data from wearable devices can be used for health in many different ways.
This raises the question of how much data from wrist-worn devices can truly help with health care. Users should therefore study the data to understand it, and consult a doctor when they experience abnormal symptoms or have questions about their health.
