Wearable Technology

Quantified Self

The Quantified Self[1] is a movement to incorporate technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states

(e.g. mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical). Such self-monitoring and self-sensing, which combines wearable sensors (EEG, ECG, video, etc.) and

wearable computing, is also known as lifelogging. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantified_Self

If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it

MC10 – Electronic Tattoo / Biostamp

The BioStamp is MC10’s first flexible computing prototype. It’s a collection of sensors that can be applied to the skin like a Band-Aid or, because it’s even thinner than that, a temporary tattoo.

The sensors within collect data such as body temperature, heart rate, brain activity, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Using near field communication—a wireless technology that

allows devices to share data (think E-ZPass)—the BioStamp can upload its information to a nearby smartphone for analysis. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-06-13/mc10s-
