I understand your reasoning but often think we become anxiety slaves to that device on our wrist spitting out data 24x7. The generation before me never had the technology to use that we currently have and just like us their all gone just like us with the technology. I sometimes wonder if the watches and other devices had a countdown monitor for "heartbeats left" would we still actively monitor that feature also 😉

You are bang on! Yes, the device can haunt us if we let it. Nag, nag, nag. What I meant to suggest, perhaps poorly, was that, if one would rather be aware of potential danger, especially if the condition like AF has been diagnosed, and if it's in the middle stages where things can start to go wrong with cardiac myopathy and remodeling, and if the patient is normally not aware of when they are in/out of rhythm, a wearable can help there. But it certainly can build anxiety if you configure the device to monitor that person continuously.
