94. Self-monitoring

Self-monitoring devices that accurately observe and quantify changes to the body over time show great 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.

This feature requires that employers offer to each employee for his/her personal use a self-monitoring device that accurately measures and tracks biomarkers associated with occupant health and wellness, including, but not limited to, heart rate variability, sleep quality and duration, activity levels and body mass.
