" summary

Wears 21 devices worn to compare activity trackers and finds many manufacturers block raw access so the data can’t be combined. Describes Misfit’s product Misfit Shine as waterproof, multi-position, with battery 4–6 months, built to prioritize wearability over raw sampling rate. Argues hardware decisions (sampling frequency, APIs, interoperability) determine data value, envisions 10 channels of synchronized signals for event-based correlation and population-scale predictive models, and flags ownership and regulatory tradeoffs.
