7/7. 🧐 Key takeaways In real-world sample of >11,000 primary care & #cardiology pts: a) #wearable use is common b) pts perceive substantial value c) use varies by demographics & health status ✳️efforts needed to ensure equitable use & that value of #wearables matches hype/hope!

6/7. Among nonusers, factors independently associated with potential #wearable use: ⬇️odds: older age, male sex, longer pre-study follow up, and White race ⬆️odds: obesity, hyperlipidemia, pulmonary disease, and cardiology patient status

5/7. In multivariable models, factors independently associated with #wearable use: ⬆️odds: greater median zip code income, history of #AFib, longer pre-study follow up, and receipt of cardiovascular care ⬇️odds: older age, male sex, and history of #HF

4/7. Users identified the following categories as particularly important to share with providers: 💓heart rate (selected by 89.7% of users), 👟 activity levels (64.4%), ❤️‍🩹health conditions (53.6%), 🫁 pulse oximetry (60.0%), and 💤 sleep (49.3%)

3/7. Patient interest in clinical usage of #wearables was nearly universal: ⌚>55% of pts reported current use of a #wearable device 🔺>95% of nonusers would use a #wearable if provided at no cost 📈>93% of users get peace of mind knowing their device could detect a ❤️ problem

2/7. We evaluated patient perceptions & use of consumer #wearable devices, incl: 🔹clinical profiles, patterns, & drivers of use 🔹barriers to implementation of #wearables as health tools 🔹feasibility of e-platform for longitudinal device data collection and prospective study

1/7. 🦾Wearable Wisdom: Patient Attitudes on Wearable Devices and What They Want You to Know❣️ Excited to share initial results of WATCH-IT-->📧e-cohort of >11,000 patients @MassGeneralBrigham @MGHHeartHealth w/ linkage to detailed health records. Link: https://t.co/EqPHmkD5ga
