Can Your Smart Watch Actually Help You Live Longer?

We've come a long way in integrating technology into our daily lives, but could wearable tech actually help you live longer? From detecting heartbeat irregularities to flagging signs of hypertension and hearing loss, devices like the Apple Watch are becoming unexpected players in preventive care. In a conversation taped before a live audience at The Paley Center for Media in New York, Dr. Sanjay Gupta talks with Dr. Sumbul Desai, Apple’s Vice President of Health, about how these tools are quietly transforming the way we think of health – and putting more control in the hands of users, one tap at a time. Our show was produced by Jennifer Lai, with assistance from Leying Tang and Kyra Dahring.

Living with Incurable Cancer

Author Jonathan Gluck says most cancer stories take one of two forms: “He or she fought valiantly and died, or he or she fought valiantly and survived.” But Gluck, who was told in the prime of life that he had an incurable type of blood cancer, has a different kind of story. Dr. Sanjay Gupta sits down with Gluck to discuss his new book, “An Exercise in Uncertainty: A Memoir of Illness and Hope,” and what two decades of living with cancer have taught him – and might teach us – about living well.
