"BodyMedia, spécialiste des équipements de surveillance du corps, a mis à jour ses plus récents accessoires et les a présentés au CES de Vegas. Cet appareil embarque pas moins de quatre capteurs pour un volume moindre que celui de l'iPod Nano. Une fois au poignet, ce sont pas moins de 5 000 relevés qui sont effectués à la minute, nombre de calories brûlées, intensité de l'exercice, cycles du sommeil, etc. "

Premiers retours sur le Consumer Electronic Show, la tendance à la mesure de soi : surveiller sa santé, son bien être Withings, Bodymedia CORE 2, Fitbug des technologies mobiles de santé (les accessoires dédiés, les plateformes,...)

"I have seen some excellent improvement in my health over the last year: I'm more than 25 pounds lighter, now weighing less than I've weighed in more than 10 years. I've lost more than 5% of my body fat (probably!). My bad cholesterol is much lower. On my run last night, I broke the 7.5 minute mark for the first mile, and ran my 2.2 mile course in under 16:45. I feel healthier and more confident. I've lost at least two pants sizes (moving from a tight fit for a size 34 waist to fitting comfortably in a size 32). I've moved in 4 belt notches and then started using a new belt. I'm no longer self-conscious taking off my shirt to go swimming. I can run 10 flights of steps without breaking a sweat. I'm comfortably in the "normal" section of the BMI chart, and I feel that I can accurately portray myself as "fit" on a dating profile. I'm proud of how my legs look now. My guild's raid beat Heroic Spine in Dragon Soul for the first time last night, and we're now 12th-best on the server. (This may be unrelated.) I plan on getting a new health assessment for my life insurance and hope to lower my rates."

"Seven in ten U.S. adults track a health indicator for themselves or for a loved one Keeping notes on one's health has been shown to be a tool for improving it,1 but up until now there has been no measure of how many people engage in this activity. A national telephone survey conducted by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project finds that 69% of U.S. adults keep track of at least one health indicator such as weight, diet, exercise routine, or symptom."

I wear a health tracking watch that monitors minute-by-minute my heart rate, calories burned, steps taken, and if I'm sleeping. Anyone who had access to my data, like a spouse, could tell when I was exercising. Most importantly, they would know if I was having sex - and how intense it was. Indeed, I inadvertently discovered that people knew whether I was engaging in sexual congress after I gave my health tracker data to a friend and he wryly quibbed about my night time activities. I instantly realized that it will become far more difficult for anyone to cheat on a spouse or fake an orgasm, thanks to a radical transparency in daily exertion that will follow health trackers as they become ubiquitous.
