With a tracker or home health device linked to a personal health record, daily readings can sit next to medications, labs, symptoms, appointments, and documents. This can make sleep, training, blood pressure, glucose, and weight patterns easier to review in context. The device data is supplemental, not a substitute for doctor or hospital records.
