For patients, wearables are fantastic tools to manage health and well-being On his 8th birthday, Aron Anderson received his first chemotherapy treatment against cancer located in the lower part of his spine. There was pain, suffering and tears. After the surgery, first he had to lie still in a bed for 6 weeks, then he wasn’t allowed to sit down for an entire year. He couldn’t walk anymore. After weeks in hospital came the next challenge: getting back to daily life. He has gained confidence again through sport. Self-tracking also helped him to take control of his health and to improve his physical performance. His perspective on being a patient in today’s health systems is a great lesson. OSOZ World 2020
