This document discusses the capabilities of wearable technology to track and analyze human behavior and physiology. It summarizes research showing that wearables can detect stress levels, predict personality traits, and identify physical activities like sitting, walking or cycling with high accuracy by collecting data from sensors. However, it notes that sustained long-term use of wearables is challenging, with many users stopping use within 6-12 months. It also discusses challenges regarding data access, ownership and privacy.

33. () without the proper behavioural design,
without considering how new products and
services fit into people's day-to-day lives, any
new technology can be terrifying. That's where
the challenge comes in. The task of making
(new technology, new world version) can't
be left up to engineers and technologists
alone - otherwise we will find ourselves
overrun with amazing capabilities that
people refuse to take advantage of.
