From Sophos Naked Security:
Wearable technology to be looked at for handling e-health data in the mainstream
I think these devices are great. They have the potential to dramatically improve wellness and preventative care. The down side is all the data points being collected by them can be misused, or, used in a manner not specified by the device owner. First we have to make sure these are secured and not spilling PHI. Once that has been done effective legislation must be passed to protect the PHI/PII data of the device owner.
