      Being informed of and aware of your own body and it’s changes is not paranoia.

    It’s a great idea, but I’m allergic and I can handle it on my wrist one day but then I have to clean it and put it on the other rest just once so I couldn’t wear all those bit wearables.

    One can take every precaution possible and still be killed in a freak accident such as a car crash or something like that. Just live life to the fullest and make the most of every moment

    … you lost me when you calld these irems inexpensive. If you meant **relatively** inexpensive as compared to treatment of a medical condition that wasn’t caught in time, sure… but i am one of those people in the states that can only afford to have a roof over my head **or** medical insurance.

      @AnonymousUserNameHere I mean, I have a smart watch that measures most of these things that I got for about $25 USD. It seems to be pretty accurate. I’m sure there are fancier/more expensive types, but a basic no-frills model is really not prohibitively expensive (for most people).

    None of that data is private.

    I’m much less stressed since getting rid of all my health monitoring devices
