Wearable devices: underrepresentation in the ageing society
In The Lancet Digital Health, Zinzuwadia and Singh commented on the bias and inequity
in studies that make use of wearable devices among the general population.1 We appreciate
their efforts to widen the known issue of insufficient representation from racially
minoritised people, to people from low-income or rural communities, and other populations
with poorer access to digital literacy. However, they did not properly address older
populations, especially those who are most likely to benefit from remote monitoring
and wearable device technology—people living with age-related cognitive decline and
dementia.
