A recent survey from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center reveals that while approximately two-thirds of Americans regularly use devices to monitor heart health, only a quarter share this information with their doctors. The most widely used tools include smartwatches and portable blood pressure monitors. Experts emphasize the importance of communicating this data, as it can help in the early detection of potential heart issues. Patients like Sue VanWassenhove demonstrate the benefits of self-monitoring by proactively scheduling doctor visits based on readings from their devices.
These self-monitoring devices are really helpful to patients and their healthcare providers because they can potentially catch things early.
