Abstract

This article looks at a smart ring as a window into how contemporary datafication in fitness and medical wearables is informed by the longer history of notions of fitness and the datafication of health within the practice of medicine. After introducing some of the concerns arising from the history of eugenics, specifically out of disability studies critiques, and the more recent organizing of health through data-driven algorithmic medicine, as well as discussing the difference between non-optional wearables and their use as part of transhumanism, I briefly consider how wearables could be a site of intervention, to seize rather than relinquish power over our datafied bodies.

与我们的健康息息相关的数据之手
本文以智能戒指为窗口,探讨当代健身和医疗可穿戴设备的数据化如何从医学实践中的健身和健康数据化概念的悠久历史中获得启示。在介绍了从优生学历史(特别是残疾研究批判)和最近通过数据驱动的算法医学对健康的组织所产生的一些担忧,以及讨论了非选择性可穿戴设备与作为超人类主义一部分的可穿戴设备之间的区别之后,我简要地考虑了可穿戴设备如何成为干预的场所,以夺取而不是放弃对我们数据化身体的权力。
