Self-monitoring
Intent:
To promote awareness of individual biomarkers associated with health and wellness.
BACKGROUND
Self-monitoring devices that accurately observe and quantify changes to the body over time show promise in promoting awareness of one’s health status. These technologies can provide a powerful tool for gaining personal insight into the physiological states of the body, thereby encouraging positive behavioral and lifestyle changes. Monitoring food intake, weight and physical activity is a proven behavior therapy technique that can aid in weight loss and weight maintenance programs, promoting improved health and well-being.
A sensor capable of measuring at least 2 of the following parameters is made available to each employee for his/her personal use and is subsidized by at least 50%:
a.94
Body weight/mass.
b.62
Activity and steps.
c.
Heart rate variability.
