Newswise — Wearable fitness trackers may improve cardiac health for at-risk individuals. But new research from Yale School of Medicine suggests those at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) have adopted wearable fitness devices at a lower rate than the general population.
Researchers estimate 18% of U.S. adults with established CVD use wearable devices, compared with 29% of the overall U.S. population.
Older age and lower education and household income were all associated with lower use of wearable devices.
