It certainly isn't what your doctor wants.
The stock objection to constant mass monitoring is that many people are living with the symptoms of serious diseases without the actual disease. Doctors are concerned there will be so many false leads it would lead to a sort of cried wolf situation, where when someone finally is actually ill they won't believe it.
That concern clearly isn't baseless, but it's also short term thinking.
