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:

  1. Polar FT80 Fitness watch
  2. WiThings WiScale
  3. FitBit
  4. Mio Fitness watch
  5. Livestrong Daily Plate (nutrition)

On order for evaluation/queued for purchase are the following:

  1. Zeo
  2. OneTouch Zoom Glucose Blood Monitor
  3. Pulsetracer
  4. Wakemate
  5. 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?
