| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @bruce_y_lee: A few minutes to @obsmchat #obsm The #WearableTech #Wearables #wearable market is growing fast. One estimate is that sales of smart wearables will hit $34 billion in 2020. That would be lots of wearables sold (411 million) and lots o’ cash involved... |

 | Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD I count on my smartphone daily and use the PACER app to track my steps and keep motivated. I share my data with my patients and help them get started as well. Self-monitoring is a well known key to behavioral change and success in #weightloss. @obsmchat #obsm |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles I have bought wearables for family/friends with mixed results. Mom wore hers for one month and then thought it was lame bc she always got more than 10,000 steps. She didn't find it helpful. #obsm |

| Bruce Y. Lee @bruce_y_lee Arbitrary limits don't account for differences between individuals & their circumstances. What implications can this have for #Wearables #WearableTech ?#obsm https://t.co/GwqiJT4FZl |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @PaulDavidsonPhD @obsmchat What do you and @bruce_y_lee think about the studies that show no improvement in weight loss with or without wearables? #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @obsmchat Many of my patients use wearables for obesity. I've seen PROS- kids love to work towards a goal and see what they've accomplished. Also CONS- disappointment and sense of failure if they don't reach their daily goal. #obsm |
| Patty Nece @pattynece I used a Fitbit for years than switched to Apple Watch. It’s good for me so long as I don’t start beating myself up for not meeting any external goal like 10,000/steps a day. #obsm |

| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @OffThePlateMC That all sounds useful! #obsm |
 | David Creel @drdavidcreel @obsmchat Great tool for people who don’t want to commit to structured exercise but are willing to try to accumulate more activity #obsm |
| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC I got an apple watch this summer.. because I had friends that were doing it together.. I like stand feature and activity but I find the green ring a lot of pressure.. and I get ticked when I don't get credit for workout #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @OffThePlateMC Great ways to use it! #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @bonuslife @ObesityAction Welcome Utah fun zone rep!! #obsm |
| Marilyn Clark @OffThePlateMC I have read a lot of these studies but can only speak from personal experience. Knowing I have a 221 day streak going for my move goal makes me motivated to hit the gym. #obsm https://t.co/OwzHxb6Ka0 |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD @arghavan_salles @obsmchat @bruce_y_lee We know that physical activity is vital to maintenance of #weightloss so I think it is important for that reason more than taking off pounds. Not to mention the cardiac, circulatory, pulmonary, and mental health benefits of exercise, be it measure with wearables or not. #obsm |

| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC I do have to admit that people obsessed with the wearable remind of the counting points etc.. fitness is not a competition.. #obsm |
 | Eyad Wohaibi, MD, FACS, FASMBS. @WohaibiMD @bonuslife @ObesityAction Welcome to the chat #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @bruce_y_lee @obsmchat Most of the kids are using Fitbits or similar devices. Some have Apple Watches but those are the exception and not the rule in my practice. Also have some lower income kids that are using simple pedometers with good success. #obsm |

| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @drdavidcreel @obsmchat Do you think they are effective? Or are some devices more effective than others? #obsm |

| Michelle Vicari @Eggface @pattynece This is my issue exactly... I have a tendency to get a little obsessive when I track anything and failing to meet my "goal" can change my mood, which is not good. #obsm |

| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC @obsmchat I think we have to keep in mind the history of people.. and not push them into competition.. Trackers are one option.. allow people to come to what works for them. #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @obsmchat I've also used a Fitbit myself but quickly realized that my daily pediatrician schedule keeps me running enough that counting steps is pretty irrelevant. I wasn't using it for weight purposes, just for general health purposes. Didn't seem to help much for that. #obsm |

| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @Eggface @pattynece I could see having that same issue. I think for surgeons these devices are tough because we can't have anything on our wrists when we scrub. Remember to put a device back on after a case is tough. #obsm |
| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC @Eggface @pattynece Same.. the hardest part of my revision was I am kind of all or nothing.. and I could not do "all" again.. The watch is helping me not do nothing. #obsm |

 | Michael Clock PA-C @BariPAClock @obsmchat Hello #obsm I am a PA in a Bariatric Surgery practice in upstate NY I have seen pros and cons If the patient can afford it and it motivates them, we can work with that Its a starting place for engagement for one metric Con:oversimplifies and may not give quick results |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat Any views on why this may be the result? #obsm |
| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC @ZHeatherChamp @Eggface @pattynece I am only disappointed I bought this summer.. I am very clutzy..I would like the fall feature of the series 4. #obsm |
| Bruce Y. Lee @bruce_y_lee @Eggface @pattynece So, perhaps focusing too much on one measure #obsm |
 | Prisma Health–Upstate Dept. of Surgery @PH_Surgery Is there a difference in wearables helping physicians versus motivating patients? #obsm |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @greenhousemd @obsmchat That was pretty much my mom's experience as well. Since she always got plenty of steps in she wasn't sure how it helped. #obsm |
| Michelle Vicari @Eggface @pattynece It is a thrill to have that little buzz go off when you have met your daily goal #obsm |

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @obsmchat I have a @GarminFitness and love it! On the days I can’t get to the gym I try to get more steps in. I also got my whole family involved and we do “challenges “ through the @Garmin app which is great as it motivates us all to get a little more #activity in.#obsm |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @BariPAClock @obsmchat Thanks for joining! Have you noticed any meaningful differences in the devices? #obsm |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD Wearables are certainly motivating for some but not for others. An individualized approach suggests they may be indicated for those who find them helpful. #obsm. |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel RT @bruce_y_lee: Arbitrary limits don't account for differences between individuals & their circumstances. What implications can this have for #Wearables #WearableTech ?#obsm https://t.co/GwqiJT4FZl |
 | John David Scott MD @jdscottmd I wonder what the impact would be if we could mass distribute wearables and connect them to our large databases, like MBSAQIP. #obsm |
| Patty Nece @pattynece @bruce_y_lee @Eggface Yes indeed. #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel RT @obsmchat: Start your #WearableTech and let's get the discussion going! Please remember to tag all tweets with #obsm so we can see them! Here's the first question. https://t.co/FEmrE1r5rQ |

| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @obsmchat Another article I had read suggested that seeing a lot of activity might give people "permission" to eat more than they might have otherwise... #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @obsmchat I've used wearables as an option to help increase physical activity when I'm using motivational interviewing with families. The kids tend to get really excited about the idea. Harder to get parents to buy into it. #obsm |

| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles @pattynece @bruce_y_lee @Eggface That makes sense as a weakness of the devices. They obviously can't measure everything we do, and it's important to remember that the numbers on a device aren't the whole story. #obsm |

| reallyrosy @reallyrosie @obsmchat #obsm my final thought does not deal with tracking wearables. I wish there was a "central answer box " for general questions...like if I am going to cheat, is an ice pop with 3 carbs better than a cup of frozen unsweetened berries? ??? |
