Talk to any older person about health concerns, and they will likely mention that one of their main fears is falling. And for good reason. While a younger person can often brush off a fall, such an event can be deadly for an older individual. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 14 million older adults fall each year, and these falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among people over 65.

Samsung's AI analyses that data on the paired phone rather than in the cloud, keeping health data private while providing personalized recommendations.

The wellness industry is booming. Even as we're downing our protein powders and installing walking pads under our desks, one of the best ways to take stock of your fitness is by donning a simple fitness tracker. Even if you're a little ways away from planning out a complete strength routine, a little wrist-worn tracker is a simple way to nudge yourself to stand up a few more times or get a little more rest.

Who is the $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 for? The Garmin crowd? I can already hear Garmin fans cackling from whatever distant mountain they're hiking on.
