Apple Watch Ultra 3

In a conversation with my parents (who both have an apple watch) we realized they will likely be the first generation to navigate aging with a consistent and extensive history of health data from these devices. I’m curious what benefits and challenges that will bring.

Our start-up is essentially the anti-thesis of this.

We've had bathroom scales for over a century, yet as a society, we are more obese than ever.

More data isn't the answer, and all this talk about "insights" is just re-packaging of that data.

Next generation wearables go beyond harvesting data and showing pretty graphs. They directly affect our biology, physiology, and neurophysiology in real-time to improve our health. That's why we call them Affectables. Wearables that affect.

We're beginning by focusing on enhancing the restorative function of sleep. Not more sleep, not falling asleep faster, but the directly affecting the neurological processes that define the health benefits of sleep.

Correlation != Causation. The obesity issue has many factors (Quality of food; sedentary lifestyle changes overtime etc), the access to weighing scales actually helped with reality checks for most people.

I'm in no way suggesting that scales MADE us overweight. Is that what you're correlation != causation comment is meant to say?

I think you're making the point for me. The "reality checks" haven't helped people to improve their health.

Data != Action.
