Just based off a few conversations I've had recently, I think giving patients data driven insights for them to make their own decisions, rather than giving strictly clinicians only therapy-relevant insights, is a good path forward for these devices to lead to functional improvements. In a similar vein to what you're suggesting, that can then expand to giving the general consumer their own insights. I think when designing this tech it's really important to think about who it's serving, and give them as much control as you can. End users shouldn't be treated like they're incompetent, we can work with them to give them a new skill. That way we increase human agency and let people take charge/improve their own lives
I 100% agree!! I think that users are going to start having a better understanding of how to interpret their own data, and a lot of this will begin to be democratised.
The incentives here can be very personal, and its important to let users have the information to make their own decisions. I see data as unlocking this- both when it comes to wellbeing and to health
