Summary:
«Device manufacturers, for their part, are starting to realise that when it comes to giving people health data, less is sometimes more.

Wearables like the Oura ring are now able to tell you not just what your heart rate, sleep or temperature trends are, but also what that means—and what changes might improve things. And when the data show that things have gone off kilter, novel digital treatments may come to the rescue».
