Learning Objectives Step into the fast-moving world of wearable technology and discover how consumer-grade devices-fitness trackers, smart rings, and more are reshaping patient engagement in neurology. From sleep and activity monitoring to cognitive tracking and seizure alerts, these tools promise empowerment and real-world insights. But are they ready for prime time? We’ll unpack the benefits, spotlight early detection opportunities, and tackle the big questions: accuracy, ethics, and regulatory gaps. Join us to explore how neurologists can navigate this evolving landscape and prepare for the future of data-driven care.
