user-generated health data

User-generated health data refers to information about a person's health that they record or share themselves, often using digital tools like fitness trackers, health apps, or online health communities. This data can include activity levels, sleep patterns, symptoms, medication adherence, or dietary habits. It helps individuals monitor their health trends and communicate more effectively with healthcare providers. While valuable, user-generated data should complement professional medical advice, as it may not always be complete or accurate. Properly analyzed and integrated, it can enhance personalized healthcare and support proactive health management.
