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.

And that's the issue, the continuous monitoring. Without the 24 x 7 monitoring for AFib it doesn't really serve much purpose other than telling you what time it is. Definitely a double edged sword. Technology creates as many issues as it solves.
