Could you elaborate on why not QS?

I'd love to have a really long debate with QS leaders because I'm uncertain of my views just yet. But here's a few thoughts:

1) Medical apps only track vital signs. Tells you nothing about chronic/progressing diseases yet

2) We don't need to obsess about stats to improve our lives. We don't need these kind of distractions.

3) Measurement is still highly manual for many cases. Won't hit the mainstream until people don't notice it.

4) What problems does it solve exactly? Withings is useful though, but only as a luxury/fun item.

It's too early. That's my only sure opinion. Far, far too early. But as this thread proves, I'm quite poor at predicting the future ;)
