• What’s the benefit of having tons of data about yourself? It can help you to be more proactive about your health. Measurement can also motivate your movement. It’s time for more physicians to start using this technology that is becoming more available. Knowing more can help make the patient more responsible. Keeping track of your data can be a positive addiction. People even get upset when their devices fail. The answer, however, isn’t the data. It’s the exercise. Jeff explained how knowing how many steps he as taken helps him to make sure that he meets his daily goal. Now we need to extend the types of data we can get and get this technology into more hands. Check the Withings site for information on some very cool devices.
