A man with a fitness tracker-what dangers await him

a man who decided to evaluate his condition according to the testimony of a fitness tracker can get a psychological trauma. And not one, by the way.

A man who began to adjust his life by a fitness tracker establishes the feedback «Health-Hajet's readings.» He systematically looks how much he went, how much he slept, writes Xrust. After some time, concern begins to be born.

social networks are full of posts about anxiety caused by health tracks. “When my indicators are good, I am happy,” one user wrote, “But from time to time the indicators fall, and I immediately fall into panic.”

And the study conducted in July and dedicated specifically to people with atrial fibrillation showed that those who wore trackers were more concerned with symptoms, more anxious and more inclined to use “unofficial” health resources than those who do not use them. People using fitness trackers do not develop mental health problems. But since today every fifth uses a device for monitoring the indicators of their health, psychologists say that there are many opportunities for anxiety.

Psychologists say that fitness trackers create the effect of a snow coma, forcing people to get hung up on numbers, and not on general well-being. People simply learn to correctly evaluate their condition and choose feasible loads.

According to experts in the field of mental health, these are the main signs that the time has come to take a break in the use of wearable devices.
