"The health monitoring app called "Healthbook" will come pre-installed on iOS 8, which, if true, would be a huge blow to third-party apps including those made by Fitbit, Nike, Runkeeper and Withings just to name a few. It would track and report steps, calories burned, distance walked and more, including weight fluctuations, and blood pressure, hydration levels, heart rate and more. Apple's focus on health in iOS 8 is given credence by a number of new reports from this week, including the news from the New York Times earlier today that Apple execs met with the FDA late last year to discuss mobile medical applications. Apple also reportedly hired Michael O'Reilly, M.D. away from a position as Chief Medical Officer of Masimo Corporation in July 2013. O'Reilly is an expert in pulse oximetry among other things, which is used to non-invasively take key vitals from a user via optical sensors."

Pour Edie Freedman, la mesure de soi est insuffisante. Pourrait-on créer des appareils pour mesurer combien de carbone nous rejetons ? Combien d'eau nous consommons ? Si nous savions combien d'eau nous dépensons quand nous prenons une douche, peut-être serions-nous plus sensibiliser à en prendre de plus courtes ? Si vous saviez combien de sacs plastiques vous jetez dans vos poubelles, peut-être pourriez vous plus faire attention à eux ?

La base de donnée du wearable. Incomplète, mais avec une interface stimulante.

The list of wearable devices has been constantly changing since 2008. With the recent announcements at CES 2014 and the media coverage that it has garnished, the wearable tech market is now poised for its biggest year in history. This database is an ever-evolving and free resource tool for everyone to use.

"Ce patch fixé à même la peau via un sparadrap (4mm d'épaisseur) mesure la température, l'activité - via le nombre de mouvements effectués dépassant une certaine amplitude - et l'inclinaison du corps. Une fois les informations transmises en temps réel par Bluetooth 4.0 jusqu'à une montre (ou bien stockées dans le patch), il permet un suivi en temps réel de l'activité de personnes malades de maladies chroniques, du bon respect de programmes de rééducation physique thérapeutiques, ou encore de s'assurer qu'un insuffisant cardiaque ne se tienne jamais à l'horizontal."

"The Worldwide Health Organization declared Air Pollution a Group 1 Carcinogenic, in the same dangerous ranks as asbestos and cigarette smoke. With over 6M premature deaths a year, a resulting decrease in life expectancy and 1 out of 3 children living with respiratory or allergy issues, air pollution is an invisible hazard. Given the amount of time we spend inside and the control we have over our offices and homes, we have full ability to change our behaviors for better living. With indoor air measured to be 5 to 8 times more polluted than our outdoor environments, this is a large problem, but an invisible one."

The suppression of feelings in the workplace in the hope of greater professional success, notes designer Jonas Loh, has led to unusually high rates of employee suicide; a particularly troubling statistic comes from France Télécom, where 23 employees ended their lives over the span of 18 months in 2008 and 2009. To counteract this stifling and dangerous social conundrum, Loh created the Amæ Apparatus, which makes a person's feelings explicit. Loh calls it an early-warning system for stressed-out people, soliciting sympathy and allowing assistance to be provided in a timely manner. Amæ, whose name comes from a subtle Japanese concept describing the desire for attention and care from a person of authority, is worn like a backpack and interprets the wearer's stress levels through a skin sensor; color-coded smoke erupts from a spout in a canister to alert coworkers to various emotional states.

"AGI (sometimes referred to as strong AI) is different from conventional AI (weak AI) in the sense that it is capable of performing (and learning from) very general tasks. Most AI (weak AI) is programmed to perform a very specific task, such as decoding house signs in Google Streetview, or IBM's Jeopardy-playing Watson. AGI, on the other hand, is programmed so that it solves problems in a much more human way. Where weak AI is usually characterized by speed and accuracy, strong AI is more closely linked to reasoning, planning, self-awareness, consciousness, and communicating in natural language. In other words, if you want to build useful, human-like robots, you need a really good AGI."
