Approach Why continuous monitoring beats the annual physical
An annual physical measures you for fifteen minutes once a year. Your body changes faster than that. Continuous monitoring watches the drift between readings.
Approach Your body is a time series: reading labs and wearables over time
Reading your labs and wearables one at a time treats your body as a still photo. Read as a trend over time, the signal is in the motion between frames.
Approach Normal HbA1c but rising? Why the trend beats the threshold
A threshold tells you when you've already crossed a line. A trend tells you you're heading for it, while there's still time to turn.
