The Elder Divide show

Summary: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantified_Self" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Quantified Self</a> with Health Technology Devices can be your Diabetes Monitor, Blood Pressure Cuff, Thermometer or others that you use to monitor your health daily, weekly or monthly. Ways to know what is going on without a Doctors visit. Quantified Self is to incorporate technology and data acquisition for all aspects of 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. You can even go from a wearable device to implants like the (ICDs)implantable cardiac defibrillators, these can last up to ten years and be used with smartphone apps to monitor many things along with helping heart failure patients.
