And by all means, hopefully we're not going to be wearing a lot of things on our bodies.
I sure as heck won't.
The more we put on our bodies, it affects our gait.
It has ramifications in so many different ways.
When I got here, I was talking to some of the people that work with you, and they're like, well, what wearables do you wear?
And I actually don't wear many at all.
And I have worn rings.
I've worn watches at different times.
But for me, the importance is the point at which I get insights that I am a big believer in.
As little on my body as possible when it comes to wearables.
One interesting company that I think is worth mentioning is Pison.
And Pison, again, they've got a form factor that's like a Timex watch or they're partnered with Timex, but they're measuring โ
Are you familiar with PISM?
Okay.
So they're measuring psychomotor vigilance.
So, you know, really trying to understand it's like an ENG, electro-neural modulation, and they're trying to understand fatigue and neural attentiveness in a way that is, you know, continuous and useful for, say, high-risk operations or...
training, whether it be it in sport.
But what I like about it is it's actually trying to get at a higher level cognitive state from the biometrics that you're measuring.
And that to me is an exciting, really exciting direction is when you're actually doing something that you could make a decision
about how I engage in my work or how I engage in my training or my life based on that data about my cognitive state and how effective I'm going to be.
