Wearable health trackers
Hi everyone,
What’s the best wearable tracker for chronic illness?
I currently have an Apple Watch SE and the visible band. But I have so many issues with both
Visible band doesn’t track sleep other than ‘how did you sleep’ with a score out of 4 and honestly think that’s so stupid considering I wore it TO SLEEP why can’t it tell me!
There’s no option to track your menstrual cycle alongside symptoms, which, for someone with hormone dependent conditions is absolutely useless. I’ve also had numerous issues with it glitching and a monthly fee on top of the band is just extortionate. Literally the ONLY thing it tracks is heart rate? How can my entire day be based on my heart rate when I have POTS? You can tell it’s been designed by men who have no clue about women’s bodies.
Apple Watch: battery life is shite. Heart rate tracking isn’t constant which I need. Doesn’t offer blood oxygen level, temperature or any other metrics than heart rate ( I know some newer models do)
I’m so so so so so fed up of things being designed for disabled and chronically ill people without chronically ill and disabled people actually getting a say in what we want tracking. I need to be able to print out real patterns and data to take to my doctor and understand my body better but everything just does 1% of the job. Plus feel like a knob wearing an Apple Watch AND a visible band.
Please help!
