In the years since my heart attack at the age of 33, technology has been a key part of my recovery. I've invested in glucose monitors to track my diabetes, a six-lead personal EKG machine that's smaller than a credit card, a blood pressure machine, and a scale that can also record an EKG each morning.
Alongside these dedicated devices, I tried a plethora of wearables, including many of the best fitness trackers. The Apple Watch became a key part of my repertoire, but so did the Oura Ring 3 (followed by the Galaxy Ring) and the Pixel Watch 3. Yet, despite access to so much data, much of which is valuable when navigating cardiac issues for the first time, I found that something was still missing.
