Really interesting paper. I do worry that a certain wearable(? That seems to be stapled into the arm) heavily marketed to middle age women for tracking metabolic data will both drive up demand in a relatively low need section of that demographic and (partly through that) exacerbate inequalities

It feels like it might be an example where something available privately leads to increased demand on the nhs but where the trade off considerations have completely side stepped the process we have via NICE
