Despite the rapid growth of wearables as a consumer technology sector and a growing evidence base supporting their use, they have been slow to be adopted by the health system into clinical care. As regulatory, reimbursement, and technical barriers recede, a persistent challenge remains how to make wearable data actionable for clinicians-transforming disconnected grains of wearable data into meaningful clinical "pearls". In order to bridge this adoption gap, wearable data must become visible, interpretable, and actionable for the clinician. We showcase emerging trends and best practices that illustrate these 3 pillars, and offer some recommendations on how the ecosystem can move forward.

Coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccine hesitancy is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety. We tested whether COVID vaccination was associated with the risks of a traffic crash. ⋯ These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.
