This week's top stories include a finding that the effectiveness of digital tools varies based on socioeconomic status, and Kaiser Permanente workers reach a tentative agreement to avoid a nationwide strike.

The WHOOP 4.0 works with WHOOP Body, allowing users to wear the sensor in exercise gear or sleepwear.

Researchers also found that a higher percentage of women and people with higher education levels reported using their wearables for more than six months.

Manal Almalki, PhD, of Jazan University in Saudi Arabia, is empowering patients to monitor their health at home so they can gain insights into their own body using wearables; the tool is also aggregating data during the patient-run experiments.
