    AbstractWearable devices providing health-related data (mobile health [mHealth]) have grown in numbers and types of data available over the past 2 decades. Applications in prevention with some of the longest track records are activity trackers to promote fitness (primary prevention), mobile electrocardiogram devices to detect arrhythmias (secondary prevention), and continuous glucose monitoring to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (tertiary prevention). Continued integration of multiple diverse data streams and improved interfaces with individuals (such as artificial intelligence-driven health coaches), and health care teams (as in the hospital-at-home concept), promise to optimize use of mHealth to improve clinical and public health outcomes.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
