I recently picked up a Fitbit as my heart rate chest strap died,
I only wanted it in the beginning for gym workouts, to be able to keep myself from pushing to hard and having some kind of self induced cardiovascular problem
I’m now hooked, it’s pretty fun to be able to have bio data read out
I have a fit bit charge 4, which is pretty small and lasts 7 days in a charge
It’s got me wondering, if you removed the screen and trimmed all the fat you could, it would likely be relatively close to a flexEM but I 2-4x the thickness
I wonder if the light sensor technology that it uses would work subdermally, and or thru flexgoop
Batteries are the perpetratual problem, but WHEN we eventually find some solution, I could see myself implanting one
I’d love to add a more accurate thermometer than the xBT, and perhaps a blood glucose
I just now found this thread! A little late, but i’m still contributing
So i read this book a while ago, you can find it here, its free: https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1045208269
and it’s basically about tiny robots, that bond with your brain and act as artificial neurons, to interact with the different parts of yout brain, e.g. to let you see a screen, tha isn’t there. I mean, this is as far from reality as it gets but i think it’s still a cool concept. I highly suggest reading the book, its one of my favourites of all time!
Edit: I just realized, i gave you the link to the german version of the book, sorry. i don’t know, where to find the english version, but the title should be the same…
Cyborg wise, I would love to have a USB-type connector that would let me mentally connect to machines or the internet. Similar to the connectors in shows like Star Wars that R2-D2 uses to open doors and manipulate subsystems.
