Are health gadgets helping us live healthier lives, or are we becoming obsessed with tracking every little thing?

This week on No Appointment Necessary, Cherry Healey and Dr Amir Khan debate the health tech that's actually worth investing in, from smartwatches and sleep trackers to continuous glucose monitors.

They reveal the one health monitor everyone should consider owning, talk about the surprising link between hearing loss and dementia, and they chat about the essential health checks we shouldn't ignore in midlife.

Plus, they share their personal fitness routines, the importance of maintaining muscle as we age, and why sometimes less monitoring might be better for our wellbeing.

How healthy is your heart? Would you know if your blood pressure was too high? And could you recognise the signs of a heart attack?
