In reply to Dax Nair.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Dax!

While purists (especially those that practice ayurvedic medicine and naturopathy) will likely resist the incorporation of technology into their healing practice, I believe those who are (even somewhat) progressive in their beliefs will embrace the possibilities afforded by adding technology that contributes to a heightened level of self-awareness, considering that benefit will exponentially contribute to the effectiveness of a holistic approach to healthcare.

With that said, wearable devices can certainly create more cybercondriacs, but I expect the wearables will come with software that helps interpret the data which will, in-turn, generate meaningful information, counteracting the cybercondriac effect.

To elaborate, it seems like that we have more cybercondriacs today because people can access petabytes of information at virtually anytime and anywhere, which they're trying to apply to what they perceive is going on inside the. When wearables become more prevalent, people won't have to actively seek that information – rather software will present the relevant information based on the biometric data it receives, and that should make the diagnosis process more accurate.

Do you agree with my thoughts/assumptions about how biometric sensing wearable technology will effect the general population (as far as cybercondriacs go), and do you think more people will gravitate towards a technology-powered holistic approach to medicine?
