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 ❤️

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

it would be great, but reviewing this stuff doesnt fit into the standard of care so its useless in practice. its a good idea to track on your own for sure, just dont expect a practitioner to be impressed :)
