The Next New Thing
New media are constantly being introduced in our lives to the point where it is hard to even keep track of them. A type of new media that I would like but haven't seen yet would be a more advanced fitness tracker. There are already lots of apps that can keep track of your calories and exercises but I would like a more advanced one. An app where you don't have to manually input all the calories that you have consumed so far but can just take a picture of what you eat and that the app would just automatically input the information in for you. I would also like if the app was able to read information on your body like if you can take pictures of your body, the app would be able to read the fat percentage in your body and automatically create work out programs most suited to you and your body type. To go along with this app, I would like a business that customizes your meal according to the macros-nutrients that your body needs to meet your goals. I think that in a few years this would be possible because of the many researches on artificial intelligence. I think that a more advanced AI fitness app would make working out more enjoyable and easier.

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteLove your idea that would honestly be pretty amazing. Would definitely make it a lot more easier for people who need to lose or gain weight, or for people that are just trying to make sure they get all the nutrients they need in a right amount. Maybe to build on your idea, instead of a picture it would be pretty cool if you were able to swallow a pill sized tablet and that kept track of everything, but that's a huge reach.
Hey David, absolutely adores your idea of the new app! I also find the manual entering information to be time consuming because not everything I eat provides calories and that means I would have to go the extra mile to look up the specific information which is a bummer. And the phone idea is perfect. I think it would become very handy and useful if once developed, it will help staying on a diet much easier and having the app to suggest estimated workout plan tailored to personal goal will be so helpful!
ReplyDeletetypo: the photo idea is perfect
DeleteHey David,
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of creating technology that somehow aids in an individual's health. Google has actually been working on a contact lens that can be used by diabetics in order to monitor their blood sugar levels. Instead of having to prick their fingers to take their blood, they would be able to track their blood sugar levels through the contact lenses. I assume that the contacts would somehow relay the information to one's cell-phone or computer.
