Methods: We used data from the National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey 5 (cycle 3, 2019 and cycle 4, 2020) for a nationally representative sample of 1273 community-dwelling informal caregivers---aged ≥18 years, 60{\%} (757/1273) female, 75.7{\%} (990/1273) had some college or more in education, and 67.3{\%} (885/1273) had ≥1 chronic medical condition---in the United States. Using jackknife replicate weights, a multivariable logistic regression was fit to assess an independent association between the use of wearables and a binary outcome: meeting or not meeting the current World Health Organization's recommendation of PA for adults (≥150 minutes of at least moderate-intensity PA per week). Results: More than one-third (466/1273, 37.8{\%}) of the informal caregivers met the recommendations for adult PA. However, those who reported using wearables (390/1273, 31.7{\%}) had slightly higher odds of meeting PA recommendations (adjusted odds ratios 1.1, 95{\%} CI 1.04-1.77; P=.04) compared with those who did not use wearables. Conclusions: The results demonstrated a positive association between the use of wearables and levels of PA among informal caregivers in the United States. Therefore, efforts to incorporate wearable technology into the development of health-promoting programs or interventions for informal caregivers could potentially improve their health and well-being. However, any such effort should address the disparities in access to innovative digital technologies, including wearables, to promote health equity. Future longitudinal studies are required to further support the current findings of this study.
