Aren’t smartwatches part of this kind of technology? They already measure a lot with their fine sensors. They are used for sports activity reports. I don’t own a smartwatch and have no need for one.

Gehören Smartwatches nicht zu solcherlei Technologie? Die messen durch ihre feinen Sensoren doch schon einiges. Für sportliche Tätigkeitsberichte werden sie ja verwendet. Ich besitze keine Smartwatch, habe keinen Bedarf daran.

My biggest concern is privacy issues from the collection of my medical data, which is why I don’t use them now.

Fitbits can also count here too, I believe.

I’m alright with it. Personally I would like for it to be more integrated into my body rather than on my hand—perhaps an implant? But I guess that goes more into other areas of augmentation.

And as for that data being collected—-our data is already out there. Not much we can do about it

With a nice medical AI behind it, that analyses all the data produced, every sensor increases your chances of preventing an ailment before it even starts. This is one of the techs I most look forward too, a personal doctor for everyone, and that with just a few gadgets, sign me up immediately. I’ve already got an Apple Watch attached to my wrist to monitor my sleep and breathing, both bad aspects of health, it helped me a lot in sleeping better, because I know what I did wrong so to speak. It’s really, really cool stuff.
