A mere week into 2026, OpenAI launched “ChatGPT Health” in the United States, asking users to upload their personal medical data and link up their health apps in exchange for the chatbot’s advice about diet, sleep, work-outs, and even personal insurance decisions. 
(from https://buttondown.com/maiht3k/archive/chatgpt-wants-your-health-data/).

This is the probably inevitable endgame of FitBit and other "measured life" technologies. It isn't about health; it's about mass managing bodies. It's a short hop from there to mass managing minds, which this "psychologized" technology is already being deployed to do (AI therapists and whatnot). Fully corporatized human resource management for the leisure class (you and I are not the intended beneficiaries, to be clear; we're the mass).

Neural implants would finish the job, I guess. It's interesting how the tech sector pushes its tech closer and closer to the physical head and face. Eventually the push to penetrate the head (e.g. Neuralink) should intensify. Always with some attached promise of convenience, privilege, wealth, freedom of course.

    Um estetoscópio com IA detecta insuficiência cardíaca, fibrilação atrial e doença valvar em 15 segundos.
    O problema? A maioria das clínicas parou de usar depois de um ano.

    Tecnologia não falha sozinha.
    Ela falha quando não cabe nos sistemas que deveriam acolhê-la.

    Inovação em saúde é menos sobre hardware
    e mais sobre cultura, incentivos e cuidado com o erro.
