Decoding health-tech shift

What users want from their smart wearables

- Gaurav Gupta

India’s relationship with health is undergoing one of the most meaningful shifts in a lifetime. For years, most people relied on instinct to understand their bodies—estimating sleep quality, guessing stress levels, and assuming their diet was “good enough.” As busy lifestyles intersect with a rise in lifestyle-related conditions, guesswork is no longer acceptable.

Consumers want clarity. They want technology that can translate what their body is communicating into simple, actionable insights. This expectation has transformed wearables from passive trackers into everyday companions that help people make better health decisions.

One ecosystem

More importantly, people no longer want their health data to exist in silos. They don’t want one app for sleep, another for steps, a separate tool for food logging, with none of them speaking to each other. Health does not function in isolation, and modern wearables reflect this reality. Built around the idea that sleep, stress, fitness, and nutrition are deeply interconnected, smart rings bring these pillars together through a single, unobtrusive device that blends into daily life. One example is the Gabit Smart Ring, which reflects the growing demand for integrated, insight-driven health solutions rather than fragmented tracking tools.
