Agregator. Meet the Woman Who Wears 21 Fitness Trackers, All Day Every Day - Liz Gannes. Rachel Kalmar wears a sleeve’s worth of step-counting wristbands and a sort of ammo belt of clip-on trackers. Nike FuelBand, Fitbit, Basis, Pebble, Withings Pulse, Jawbone Up, BodyMedia Link — she’s got them all. In total, she has 21 wearable personal-activity trackers monitoring her every step and every waking hour. Every day. It’s a stunt of giving up her body for science, and kind of a cool punk fashion statement — and a daunting amount of syncing and charging. Kalmar is a data scientist at Misfit Wearables, maker of the Shine, yet another personal-tracking device, whose claim to fame is that its pendant shape and slender band makes it less ugly than many of its competitors. So, about a third of the trackers she wears every day are different Shine models that she is testing on different parts of her body. I’ve seen other people from fitness startups wear multiple devices to compare their accuracy.
Genetrainer - Genetically guided fitness. La mise en chiffre de soi (1/2) : qui sont ceux qui se mesurent. Par Hubert Guillaud le 22/05/13 | 6 commentaires | 3,594 lectures | Impression Dans le dernier numéro de la revue Réseaux, Anne-Sylvie Pharabod, Véra Nikolski et Fabien Granjon signent un intéressant article sur “La mise en chiffres de soi” qui s’est intéressé à une poignée de praticiens de la mesure de soi. Ils rappellent que “la mise en chiffre de soi est une pratique marginale”, que le partage des données personnelles, enjeu central pour les promoteurs des outils, est très confidentiel et reste cantonné à des pratiques spécifiques, et enfin que la quantification de soi est avant tout un geste intime et peu stable, qui ne s’installe pas dans la durée : souvent “la pratique est ponctuelle, car elle s’apparente à un diagnostic : une fois l’évaluation faite, la quantification n’a plus de sens”.
Si certaines pratiques, notamment celles de performances sportives, peuvent être plus stables, elles ne sont pas forcément très intensives. Quelles normes partageons-nous ? Hubert Guillaud.

The HAPIfork, powered by Slow Control, is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits. It also alerts you with the help of indicator lights and gentle vibrations when you are eating too fast.
Every time you bring food from your plate to your mouth with your fork, this action is called: a "fork serving". The HAPIfork also measures: * How long it took to eat your meal. * The amount of "fork servings" taken per minute. * Intervals between "fork servings". This information is then uploaded via USB or Bluetooth to your Online Dashboard on HAPI.com to track your progress. The HAPIfork also comes with the HAPIfork and HAPI.com apps plus a coaching program to help improve your eating behavior. Originally developed by Slow Control for clinical or medical use, HAPIfork has today the potential to become a must-have utensil for everyone, available in every kitchen. My santé mobile.
