I’m on a bit of a quest. I want to collect as much data on how my body performs and reacts to the world around it so I’m building my own bio-connected Internet of Things.
I’m going to try and use as much unobtrusive technology as I can muster/afford to collect and process useful data about my body.
So far I have the following data collectors:
- Polar FT80 Fitness watch
- WiThings WiScale
- FitBit
- Mio Fitness watch
- Livestrong Daily Plate (nutrition)
On order for evaluation/queued for purchase are the following:
- Zeo
- OneTouch Zoom Glucose Blood Monitor
- Pulsetracer
- Wakemate
- BodyBug
Some of these devices are redundant, but I’m interested in how they compare/operated, especially within the context of a family’s use of said devices, the security, privacy and usability of their data collection and how they communicate/interact with other things.
Have any other cool ideas for products I should try?
