Knowledge gap hampers progress
Reported knowledge about important health indicators is very limited ( with most cited metrics by respondents not being real health measures at all , but rather activities such as ‘ drinking more water ’). Awareness of what the correct ‘ scores ’ for certain vital health metrics ought to be for each individual was also very low . This reveals a fundamental knowledge gap regarding metrics that significantly impact health . However , regular access to personalised health indicators directly influences a deeper understanding of advanced health with smartwatch users in Europe being , on average , 51 % more likely to know the target measurements for all key health metrics than non-users .
Multiple metrics , micro-habits and momentous changes
Consistent tracking of multiple health metrics helps develop powerful micro-habits and behaviour change – and the research data shows the impact smartwatches can have here :
• On average , smartwatch users in Europe are 51 % more likely to be aware of accurate target measurements for all essential health metrics compared to non-users . Additionally , they exhibit a 75 % higher likelihood of knowing their target body fat measurement and a 71 % higher likelihood of being aware of their correct daily calorie target .
