US government wants health trackers for all? What it means for your health, privacy, and wallet
Briefly

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is urging Americans to adopt health-tracking devices, announcing plans for a significant advertising campaign to encourage their use. He envisions every American wearing a health device within four years, positioning wearable technology as central to the 'Making America Healthy Again' agenda. Devices like continuous glucose monitors and smartwatches are highlighted for their health-monitoring capabilities, which can foresee potential health issues. Despite the benefits, some question whether there are ulterior motives behind promoting these wearables.
"My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years... wearable health technology is a key pillar to the 'Making America Healthy Again' agenda."
"These devices gather and collect a user's health data and include features that could notify users of injury or undiagnosed conditions."
