“We want our health to become a number. That is one of the reasons why we seem to be at the beginning of a real Cambrian Explosion of ‘Health Internet Things’ and tracking gadgets.
Everything in our bathroom or pharmacy will soon have a display and…all of these displays will want to connect, thereby producing a real-time, ever-changing picture of our ambient health.”
- futurist Walter de Brouwer
