UNITED STATES, JUN 24 – The Department of Health and Human Services aims for every American to use wearable devices by 2029 to combat high obesity rates and promote healthier lifestyles under the MAHA agenda.

  • On June 24, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Health Secretary, unveiled a significant HHS initiative aimed at encouraging nationwide adoption of wearable health monitoring devices.

  • Kennedy emphasized wearables can help people manage diets and activity, detect irregular heart rhythms, and aid elderly users remotely monitoring health.
  • He described the initiative as one of the most extensive efforts ever undertaken by HHS, designed to encourage Americans to actively manage their health.
  • The campaign signals increased government support for wearables, but experts note devices have accuracy limits and users must also change behaviors to improve health.
