Female: The human body creates millions of points of data every single day.
Most of which goes unnoticed or even uncollected.
Things like how far you've walked, your heart rate
or even to calories consumed or burned.
The past, there have been complicated methods used to collect this data.
Today, capturing this data points could be as simple as putting on a smart bra
or even just wearing a bracelet.
This is the Jawbone Up, now this thing is a triple threat.
It not only monitors all of your daily activities and workouts
but it will also let you input all of your food
and even monitor your sleep quality.
It's crazy, you just strap it on and you're good to go.
This is the Adidas heart rate monitor that connects directly to a sports bra
with connective fibers that tracks your heart rate while you workout.
It also will link directly to your Bluetooth phone using the miCoach application
that will let you track your runs using GPS.
You can see exactly where you ran on a map.
Todd: Users who are wearing this fitness devices
are contributing their individual data to a larger irrigation of group data.
This technology is great to monitor individual activity
and to keep track of your performance over time.
But the most amazing applications are yet to come.
As these devices get cheaper and become more in common place
we'll be able to see patterns in behavior and experience,
and created predicted models of users activity based on their behavior.
For example, suppose you're performing some sort of strenuous physical activity
and based on the data being collected from you
and the data already collected from millions of other users
who are using the device.
We could see that you have a 90% chance of having a cardiac arrest
if you continue that activity, so the device will warn you to stop.
We're done great job.
Female: All right.
Todd: It was fun.
Female: Thank you.
Todd: How do you feel?
Female: I feel good, I'm little exhausted
but I'm excited to do be able to get this data and [unintelligible] my doctor
and see what they have to say.

Female: I'm here with Dr. Doshi at the Pacific Heart Institute
at the Saint John's Health Center.
We're about to dive in to some of the data that I received today
while we're doing this workout, so what are we looking at?
Dr. Doshi: In terms of what you did here,
this looks like a very normal, healthy person.
As you exercise you go up, so you reached about 70% of your maximum predicted
and gradually as you took breaks you notice you started coming back down again.
This looks like a very healthy profile.
Female: The heart rate wonder is pretty cool
but the Jawbone Up is more of a lifestyle piece
so not only does it track your steps but it will also track your sleep.
Judging by this data here, it looks like I had two pretty solid deep sleeps
and then what is this average?
I mean that's the problem with a lot of this
is we don't really know what we're looking at half the time.
Dr. Doshi: That's right and there is no normal here, there is no abnormal
because we really haven't studied, not just the concept of what you're doing
but how each device does it differently.
The one thing that you can keep constant is an individual patient.
You can look at your own patterns and you can compare that to yourself.
Based on that I would say that looks pretty normal
where you had a significant portion of deep sleep at night
but also with many [phase] of lighter sleep
which allowed you to move and rotate in bed.
If you wake up during that lighter phase
then you tend to be more awake and alert.
Female: I know you're familiar with all the gadgets that we use today
but how do you see that impacting your patients futures?
Dr. Doshi: My hope is in the future every one, walking on this planet earth
will have something like this.
So it allows someone like me who specializes in heart rhythm and heart rate
to better understand what is healthy and what is not for that given patient.
I'm very confident as technology improves
and it becomes more accessible that we will have that.
Female: The ability to capture data is only going to get easier.
The fact that I can compare myself from one day to the next is pretty cool.
But the fact that one day, all of these activities are going to be used
to improve our lives is pretty empowering.
