What Your Wearable Knows Before Your Doctor Does

Consumer wearables like Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and Fitbit are everywhere. Step counts, heart rate, sleep scores… but what can these devices actually measure? And what’s coming next?
In this talk, Ziv Lautman dives into the science behind the wearables on your wrist — what they reliably capture, where the hype outpaces the hardware, and the exciting frontier of detecting novel health biomarkers like stress, heart attack, menopause, and more from the same devices you’re already wearing.
