The White House recently launched a bold driveto integrate wearables into national wellness.⌚️
This initiative targets critical health metrics such as heart rate variability (HRV), glucose levels, sleep patterns, stress, and more to improve health outcomes and personalize care.
While wearable adoption is already widespread, with approximately 35% of adults currently using a wearable device, the White House’s vision acknowledges that raw health data alone is insufficient.
True transformation depends on deeply integrated biosensors that deliver rich, contextual physiological insights beyond standard metrics like heart rate or step counts.
Here’s the reality we face today:
🔬 129 million Americans live with at least one major chronic disease.
⚠️ Nearly 6 in 10 have chronic conditions, and 4 in 10 cope with two or more.
💰 Over $730 billion is spent annually on preventable diseases, funds that could be redirected through earlier detection and intervention.
At Profusa, we are proud to lead innovation with our tissue-integrated biosensors, injectable devices that continuously monitor an individual’s unique body chemistry in real time.
Our sensors provide clinical-grade biochemical data, measuring key biomarkers such as glucose, lactate, tissue oxygenation, sodium, and potassium, all in a minimally invasive, long-lasting format.
But this is more than technology for technology’s sake.
The Health Tech Ecosystem Initiative isn’t just policy, it’s a call to action to revolutionize how we protect our nation’s health by building a nationwide digital health ecosystem where:
• Data flows seamlessly and securely across platforms
• Artificial intelligence interprets complex biology in real time
• Individuals and clinicians receive actionable intelligence
• Prevention replaces reaction
We must transition from a reactive model of illness treatment to one grounded in proactive health resilience.
Achieving this requires interoperable systems that deliver trusted, contextualized data and insights, empowering both individuals and healthcare professionals to intervene before health crises emerge.Profusa’s vision is fully aligned with this national objective: to harness continuous biosensor intelligence that comprehensively understands an individual’s physiology, nutrition, environment, and biomarkers.
This vision has guided our decade-plus of development, during which we have partnered with DARPA and NIH, leveraging their technical and financial support to guide and advance our innovation.
Real-time, clinically validated biochemistry data is critical. Without it, wearable devices are just tracking steps; with it, we can help prevent chronic disease before it starts.

I’ll freaking jump in one of their (soon to a town near you!) gas chambers before I let them monitor every frocking minute of my life! It galls me enough that I’ve got a Big Brother app on my phone that monitors every second of my driving, but it’s the only way I can afford insurance. But I drive like a granny anyway, so hope I bore them to death.
Why doesn’t ODL just put cameras in every room of everyone’s house?? Embed them in our foreheads?
Steve, I know you’re a Trump supporter, ban me if you want, but THIS IS FASCISM.
I feel sorry for all the retirees who had to try and make ends meet over the 20% inflation over the last 4 yrs. I know that over the last 16 yr our national debt has went from ~ 9 trillion to 37 trillion 12 of those years were Obama/Biden admin and we are now paying > 1 trillion in interest on that money and the Head of the Federal Reserve won’t lower the federal interest rate.. although he did lower it a little right before the last election. Biden sold off over half of our strategic petro reserve, trying to give the public the false impression that we had enough oil and to lower price at the pump for a few months. I don’t really trust either side very much, I just figure which one will allow my family to financially come out better.
All righty then. We’ll see how much better low income/disabled folks do by the end of next year. And you deflected my entire point like a pro politician.
All I stated was known facts. IMO, the most disturbing is that in the first 232 +/- yrs and 43 Presidential admin, we amassed a 9 trillion national debt after the Civil War, WW-1 , WW-2 , Korean war, Vietnam war, war on poverty (Medicaid) War on stupidity (drugs). I am sure that there are many “dark deep holes” that we have thrown money down. Obama admin added ~ 10 trillion, Trump Admin added 5-6 trillion & Biden Admin added ~ 10-12 trillion
I hear what you’re saying. The national debt has been obscene for decades, & the fault lies with BOTH PARTIES. It needs drastic improvement. But that still does not address what I was talking even a tiny bit. It does not, in fact, even address what this article you wrote is about. Why is that? I’m truly curious.
