RFK Jr. Wants All Americans to Use Wearables to Track Their Health: What That Means

  • On June 24, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, revealed plans for a large-scale campaign aimed at increasing the use of wearable health devices.
  • Kennedy linked the campaign to his Making America Healthy Again agenda, emphasizing wearables as tools for monitoring vital signs and preventing chronic illness.
  • Despite growing adoption, studies find devices like Apple Watch and Fitbit show accuracy challenges for metrics such as heart rate and steps.
  • Kennedy noted that since Ozempic costs about $1,300 per month, using an $80 wearable device to manage health in a similar way would be much more beneficial and affordable for Americans.
  • The campaign signals federal support for wearable adoption while companies like Wearable Devices Ltd. expand AI-driven bio-signal platforms into health monitoring and cognitive analytics.
