Wellness Apps and Wearables
In the U.S., wellness has become digital. Wearable devices like Fitbit and Oura Ring track everything from heart rate variability to sleep cycles. Paired with mindfulness apps like Headspace or Calm, users can visualize their stress levels and implement guided breathing or meditation sessions in real-time. These tools make well-being not only measurable but also manageable — right from your wrist.
Personalized Wellness Plans
Customization is key. Whether it's DNA-based diet planning or biohacking sleep and productivity, Americans are embracing deeply personalized self-care strategies.

|---|---|
| DNA Wellness | Nutrition and workout plans based on genetic tests |
| Sleep Coaching | Apps that analyze REM cycles and suggest bedtime adjustments |

Sleep is now a serious health metric. Americans invest in a range of tools and habits to boost recovery.

Convenience meets nutrition in the U.S. From nootropic-infused drinks to probiotic-packed snacks, functional foods have taken over supermarket shelves. Subscription-based healthy meal services like Freshly or Daily Harvest make it easier than ever to eat well, even during your busiest week.
Digital Mental Health & Accessibility
Mental health is going mainstream, thanks to tech. Affordable and anonymous therapy platforms now make it easy to connect with licensed professionals — anytime, anywhere.
