Immediate access puts test results in patients’ hands, but the next challenge is making sense of them

A nationally representative US study found that 68.6% of adults with access to medical records viewed immediately released test results before hearing from a healthcare practitioner. Among these viewers, only 34.9% rated their understanding as very good, with comprehension varying by region, digital literacy, patient-centered communication, and experiences of medical care discrimination.

Swimming sends wrist-worn heart rate monitors off track

Researchers created an open-access dataset comparing two wrist-worn heart rate monitors with a chest-strap reference during dry-land exercise and swimming. Both smartwatches performed substantially worse underwater, highlighting the challenges water poses to optical heart rate monitoring and providing a resource for future research on aquatic wearables.
