Doctors say most metrics provided by your Apple Watch, Fitbit aren’t helpful to them

We use wearables to count calories, measure heart rates and even rate our quality of sleep.
With healthier living in mind, we purchase kid-friendly versions for our children and step-counting options for grandparents. Apple Watches, Fitbits and other fitness trackers are everywhere as data-obsessed users tap away at tiny screens from the gym to the doctor’s office.
It’s clear that consumers love wearables and the information they provide – but do physicians?
Doctors have mixed views on how patients gather and present information from gadgets with quasi-medical aspirations. Most say its a plus that patients can collect and curate more health-related data than ever before. However, bringing printed out pages of calories burned or counted steps to your next checkup isn’t exactly advised.
