Wearable Technology in Endocrinology

Meaning

The clinical application of non-invasive, body-worn electronic devices that continuously or intermittently monitor physiological parameters relevant to endocrine function and metabolic health. This technology includes smartwatches, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and specialized biometric sensors used to track heart rate variability, sleep architecture, and activity levels. These devices provide a high-resolution, longitudinal dataset that complements traditional, static blood tests.
