Well, so this project of mine is in beta, which makes you the 22nd Fitbit user. Not the best sample size :) Im on the higher end too. Not sure how we stand up against the 20 million other fitbit users out there.
- varelse 11y agoCool, one thing though, you're not getting my genome. That's like giving you my fingerprints and we've just barely met. My fitbit data has probably already outed me to you given what I said previously. I'm OK with that because there's nothing but good news there. My genome? Well, it's a mixed bag like anyone else's hence the 20K+ steps per day as an ongoing service patch. I do wish there were a way to anonymously calculate the very comparative statistics you're generating, but alas I don't see one. Am I missing something?
- subcosmos 11y agoNo problemo! Really what we need is some kind of homeomorphic encryption process that would enable large scale Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) to be performed without actually divulging the underlying raw data. Until that happens though, scientists like myself have to contend with the privacy concerns of many.
