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?

Mostly vanity metrics on the consumer health side right now. Apple Watch is the easiest IMHO. Lots more interesting things happening on the clinical side. Most of it isn’t yet available at reasonable cash prices however.

Apple Watch + HRV Tracker App (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1463020956) DIY Whoop without a subscription Highly also recommend using Gyroscope with your Apple Watch Wellue CheckMe Max for nighttime pulse ox & heartrate for much more detailed information A lot of this comes down what is useful, actionable data

+ Oura + Levels … looking at Welltory now (cf “luxury surveillance” ie it’s all fun and games until an employer insists you wear one of these devices, unless it’s maybe NASA and you’re in a rocket and they are trying to keep you alive)

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 listened to a podcast, may have been tim ferris - talking to a guest about blood glucose monitoring. The takeaway was: move after eating. It’s the best way to keep blood glucose stable, which is generally what you want for a healthy you.
