The WEAR IT Act allows Americans to use pre-tax health savings accounts, Archer Medical Savings Accounts, and flexible spending arrangements to purchase wearable health devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers that monitor or treat medical conditions. The legislation defines eligible wearable devices as those worn on the body that collect health data for diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, or assist in medical diagnosis and treatment. Each person can use up to $375 per year from these tax-advantaged accounts toward wearable device purchases, including any associated software subscriptions. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2026, and primarily benefits individuals with employer-sponsored health plans or those who maintain personal health savings accounts, potentially increasing adoption of health-monitoring technology. The legislation was introduced by Representatives David Schweikert and Ami Bera and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.
