VOA’s Julie Taboh reports.]] ((NATS – Fred clipping plants)) ((NARRATOR)) Fred is an avid gardener, a hobby he gets to enjoy more of these days now that his diabetes is under control. ((Fred, Biowearable Device User)) “Before when I used a test strip, I was more worried about my diabetes. Now I feel that I have a hand in controlling my diabetes. That gives me more peace of mind.” ((NARRATOR)) That’s thanks, in part, to a device he wears on his body that continuously tracks and records his blood sugar levels so he and his doctor can be better informed. Fred asked that his last name not be used to protect his privacy. A growing number of people like Fred are turning to wearable devices to help manage their health. To track their walking steadiness … Or simply monitor their lives… ((RADIO TRACK: Eleven-year-old Sophia Panchal recently received an Apple Watch for her birthday.))

In one week, I'm getting the same sample that I would normally be getting in a year.” ((NARRATOR)) For many people, the privacy and security of their health data is a concern. ((Dr. Richard Milani, Ochsner Health System)) ((SKYPE)) “We want to be able to have reliable data that's secure from a patient protection standpoint.” ((NARRATOR)) Fred’s device is made up of a sensor that attaches to his body. He enters a code into his smartphone and data is transferred via a transmitter. ((Fred, Biowearable Device User)) “When you think about your heart or your blood pressure or your blood sugar, you constantly get obsessed with it. With this, that obsession is out of the picture.” ((NARRATOR)) Technologies are being developed today that will be even less intrusive, gathering health information quietly through devices like smartwatches and phones.
