The wearable tech industry, represented by companies like Oura, Samsung, and Ultrahuman, is critiqued for monetizing access to personal health data through costly devices and subscriptions. The narrative emphasizes that users should not trust these corporations with their intimate health information. Instead, the article advocates for a shift towards decentralized systems, utilizing technologies like open source hardware and community governance, enabling users to truly own their data. The disruption is not just in developing better devices but in creating a network where data ownership and access are democratized.
The real innovation isn't in building better sensors - it's in liberating the data they collect.
The market isn't just ready. It's screaming for disruption. Think bigger than just another smart ring. We're talking about: Users owning their health data.
