Health in 2025 has been strongly driven by technology. Many people now have tools right at their fingertips that help them better understand what is happening in their bodies. From sleep and stress to heart health and fitness, wearable tech is becoming a helpful part of everyday life. Let’s take a look at a few popular health tools that are getting a lot of attention and why people are using them.
Oura Rings
Oura rings have become popular because they are easy to wear and packed with helpful health features. Worn like a regular ring, they track things like sleep, stress levels, heart health, daily activity, and metabolic health.
One feature many people appreciate is fertility tracking. The ring can help identify fertile windows, which gives users more insight into their cycles. Overall, Oura rings are a simple way to tune in to your body and notice patterns you might otherwise miss.
The Hume Pod
The Hume Pod looks like a regular scale, but it offers much more than just a number on the screen. It measures things like muscle mass, water levels, and overall body composition. Using 8-frequency sensors, it can even share helpful information related to bone health.
This type of scale can be especially helpful for people who are working out regularly. It allows you to see whether changes in weight are coming from fat loss or just water changes, which can be encouraging and motivating over time.
KardiaMobile
KardiaMobile is a medical-grade EKG that can be downloaded right to your phone! After downloading the app, you simply place your fingers on the sensors and the device records your heart rhythm in real time.
It can pick up certain heart rhythm changes that are important to share with your doctor. For many people, this tool provides peace of mind and helps them feel more aware of their heart health between visits.
A Helpful Tool, Not a Replacement
As a provider, I appreciate how health technology has helped people become more involved in their own care. These tools can potentially spot things earlier like high heart rates, irregular rhythms, or changes in blood sugar. That said, wearable tech should never replace regular visits with your doctor. Instead, think of it as a helpful add-on.
