In a few years, your wearable likely will be able to monitor your blood pressure. And it might even be able to track your blood sugar.

Of course, that’s great news. Blood pressure and blood sugar are two critical biometrics, and a device that’s always on the lookout for early signs of hypertension and diabetes could help improve – even save – millions of lives.

Even better news: we won’t have any more metrics to track and interpret. Our smartwatches, hearables, rings and other wearables will take care of that for us.
