Its app makes advantage of AI's power and offers thorough analysis of users' lifestyle data and health measures. Additionally, the wearable devices segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its ability to provide continuous health and fitness monitoring, such as heart rate, steps, and activity levels, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility or specialized health needs.
