Strange topic, but are there any cool consumer medical devices for collecting personal metrics?

Withings has a really nice suite of devices where you can export weight/temperature/blood pressure history to your doctor.

Curious what else is out there... Does the Star Trek Tricorder exist yet?

the oura ring is probably the lowest barrier to entry for most metrics, and id suggest it over apple watch.  less functionality, but less headache.

if youre looking for weight measurements withings is probably as good as anything.

if you have a doctor that will pay attention to this information theyre a legend ❤️

just a cool guy doing cool things.  \n
maaaan, cool guys never say shit like that.

i have a doctor that would slap me across the face if i showed up with infographics.  doesnt make it right, but ive been lucky to have them for about 20 years

but for real, these things arent evidence based and its irresponsible to treat it any more acutely than a fart

Do you have a doctor who pays attention to the data from these devices? If so..tell us more, I’d love to learn.

ive been out of the wearables game for a while so no idea about blood pressure but thats the toughest, compliance-wise.  it takes a good 10-15 minutes to get a good resting reading and ive been to very few gps that wait that long anyway.

if you can adhere to it you might get more consistent readings outside the clinic

Oh yes, I remember hearing about Oura Ring a while back. I will take a closer look at them! 

Thank you!
