The incorporation of wearable health technology is revamping early intervention approaches in preventive healthcare, and it has initiated a revolution in its approach. In this paper, a study is pursued on how one wearable device may upgrade preventive care in real-time monitoring and early detection of health abnormalities. The devices are smartwatches, fitness trackers, and health monitors that collect a large amount of data related to vital signs, activity levels, environmental conditions that may indicate the onset of diseases and much more. The paper reports on an investigation into the current impacts of wearables on early disease detection, chronic disease management, and overall healthcare outcomes. Big data analytics, machine learning, and continuous monitoring in wearable health technology enable interventions at the earliest stage and provide personal health management. This study highlights the benefits and challenges of using wearable devices in preventive healthcare, the implications on data privacy, and the demand for strong healthcare infrastructure. Moreover, it was proved that wearables could reduce healthcare costs, enhance the quality of life, and empower individuals to handle their health issues. The paper aims to discover in greater depth how this wearable health technology can catalyze preventive healthcare into earlier intervention.
