These types of continuous monitoring systems, wrist mounted and also in smart toilets, will be required by insurance companies in the future.
I mean, the potential health benefits in terms of preventive care seem to be incredibly large to me.

They are all resoundingly pessimistic, due to the false positives they think would result and a general sense that it would result in unnecessary interventions. It made some sense to me, but ultimately considered it would work out for the greater good.
