Yes, it's monitoring "health" Fuck off Internet of Shit. Stop stabbing your shit into everyone's privacy.
I'm imagining the signal to your brain or whatever is lost every 5 minutes and John A Healthy has to contend with paramedics laying siege to his home every 3 hours as they get automatically notified, that is if it even manages to get connection to the hospital's systems. Alternatively, they use it to figure out who's old and then commence saturation bombing with telemarketers.
Iirc my grandpa had a wifi connected pace maker that would alert the company when there was an issue/emergency
The first thing I thought of was this will be used to raise premiums if your health appears to be declining.
the only reason comcast is interested in keeping us plebeians alive is that dead people don't pay for internet
Oh absolutely, or preemptively block you from a better health rating based on the information collected from you.
American companies, especially ones like Comcast, don't do *anything* unless it benefits THEM first. Keep that in mind
track people's health and send that data to health insurance companies right????
You just have to be proactive with strategic social media and data. Make a few google searches for "what do you do when you're too healthy?," etc.
Big Pharma, so they can advertise pills to you.
