Wearable metrics, AI and context: why numbers alone don't drive decisions
EricTopol · x · 2026-09-28
Eric Topol recommends Daniel Shaywitz's WSJ essay on wearable sensor metrics, AI, and context in medical decision-making. Invoking Kahneman's line that "no one ever made a decision because of a number. They need a story," the piece argues that raw sensor data and AI analysis only matter when translated into narrative-supported decision contexts.
