I think wearable technology like smart watches could be great for health monitoring and progress. Not just fitness tracking.

The known relationships between biomarkers such as heart heart, heart rate variability, blood pressure, galvanic skin response and other tantalising tidbits as a person’s wellbeing; their anxiety; their mood; their fatigue states; these can all be creatively monitored, modulated and recorded using this technology.

Yet as your article points out, Steven Levy, the public doesn’t see that need. Is it a matter of marketing? Or of misplaced design? Or if it yet the right time?

I see great potential in it all. But potential has to meet with finance and together they have to intersect with the right flavour of market message. Alas!

I shall stick with my two fingers and a radial pulse for now.
