Jessica Lu is a Singapore-based biomedical researcher with a passion for health, wellness, and helping people live longer, healthier lives to achieve their goals and dreams.
In our conversation, we discussed:
Four questions to help you decide if/what wearable you should get
How to review wearables
The future of health wearables
And much more.
My three favourite takeaways:
The most sophisticated or expensive device may not be the best for you
Think about how long you need the device for before you make the purchase
A research found 50% participants found benefits from using wearables and 50% did not; remember that devices are supposed to help you live better
