Abstract : The confluence of wearable and medical devices has led to significant advancements in human-computer interaction (HCI) in the healthcare sector. The current research examines how wearable technology such as fitness trackers and smart sensors transforms medical monitoring and patient involvement. We look at how these devices are used in medicine and how they impact the collection of real-time health data and customized treatment plans. Additionally, the study examines how HCI helps to develop feedback systems that are adaptable and user-friendly, hence enhancing the user experience and ensuring accurate data interpretation. We highlight the benefits and challenges of incorporating wearable and medical technology into standard healthcare by reviewing recent advancements and practical applications. By providing a comprehensive study of how HCI principles could improve these devices' usability and usefulness, this research aims to pave the way for more effective and patient-centered healthcare interventions. The report also discusses how these developments may affect healthcare practitioners, examining how they can adjust to new data sources and technological breakthroughs without sacrificing patient care standards. Along with reviewing potential ethical and privacy issues, it highlights the necessity of strong security measures and open data management procedures when using personal health data. The research attempts to provide useful suggestions for enhancing the integration of wearable devices in healthcare settings by combining insights from technological and human issues.
