Ask AI to explain wearables in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "AI Watches Heart Rates on Smart Health Bracelets" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check health against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
