First of all, thanks for the thorough post! [1] and [2] sounds kind of positive rather than negative though. Maybe smokers ought to pay more for their insurance? I'm not saying it's great that they can track people who smoke but the data could as well be used to strengthen your case, isn't that right? I get it if you are an US-citizen and don't want to use fitness tracker that sends data to their servers but I am a Swedish citizen. I don't have a health insurance so I don't have to worry about any insurance company finding out anything about my health. Maybe there are privacy concerns and maybe they should be addressed, but there is also most likely a lot of benefit to be gained from these systems. Just because the US has a crappy health system that exploits tech like health trackers doesn't mean that the health tracker stuff is inherently bad. Since I live in EU, I can also require them to delete the data thanks to GDPR. TL;DR: I get the worry you may have as an US citizen, but basically none of these concerns seem to apply to a EU citizen that have universal health care.
