Increased demand for wearables may cause providers to face an overflow of patient data, they add. That "tsunami" of information will lead to issues such as a potential need for constant oversight and the need to summarize all the data into a usable and meaningful format.

From the article "Incorporating mHealth into routine care 'potentially transformational' despite challenges" by Judy Mottl.
