Smartwatch-based wearables (e.g., Apple Watch Series, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Fitbit Sense) can continuously monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and stress levels.

This allows users to quickly detect health changes in their daily lives, and early warnings of abnormalities are particularly useful for those with chronic diseases.
