ForwardLeveraging Wearable Devices for Behavior Change
As wearable health devices become increasingly integrated into daily life, wellness coaches and other healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned to help clients translate data into meaningful insight—while maintaining a client-centered, strengths-based approach.

Presenter: Chris Aakre, MD |
Join this livestream webinar to explore how wearable technology can be incorporated into your practice. This session emphasizes the healthcare professional's role as a facilitator of self-discovery—supporting clients in interpreting their own data, identifying patterns, and connecting insights to what matters most to them.
Participants will learn how to integrate data from devices such as fitness trackers and smartwatches—capturing metrics like sleep, activity, and heart rate—into collaborative conversations that honor client autonomy and readiness. Rather than directing behavior, participants will focus on fostering awareness, evoking motivation, and supporting sustainable, values-driven change.
The webinar will also address practical and ethical considerations, including maintaining clear boundaries, supporting diverse client needs and preferences, and navigating data use with respect for privacy and professionalism.
