Clothes for Wellness

So what does BodyMedia have in mind…If you read this article from a few years ago, I think they are on to something. Can you put sensors in people’s clothes without changing the comfort of the clothes – probably? Can you link those sensors to data driven models to help drive behavior – sure? Will people wear the clothes, use the data, and change behavior – who knows?

The concept is right. Embedding technology into everything we do and using that data to push information to us at the right time is critical to changing behavior and driving technology enabled wellness. I love the picture below of their reporting. I get this from my GPS watch. I definitely intend to learn more about what they are doing.
