Yes, wearables have taken off in terms of not only comfort to wear 24/7 for not just a day, but for months and years of continuous data, but also they have moved from getting snippets of consumer data to giving continuous raw validated clinical-quality data, validated through lots of patient studies and validated through regulatory boards such as the FDA.
