Every few weeks, a new wearable hits the market promising better sleep, less stress, more focus, optimal recovery.
But are these tools really helping — or just adding more noise?
In this QLX Hot Topic session, we take a clear-eyed look at the world of wearables and self-tracking tools.
We cut through the marketing and explore:
-
What kinds of wearables exist — from head to toes
-
The real science behind popular claims (HRV, sleep stages, blood oxygen, focus tracking…)
-
What the data says about long-term effectiveness and behavior change
-
When wearables support your quality of life — and when they distract from it
-
A simple framework to decide what’s worth trying and what to skip
The goal is to walk away with more clarity, direction, and a more intentional relationship with tech in our personal growth journey.
