THE TALK: The Quantified Human – future opportunities and implications for healthspan, resilience and performance
December 5, 2023
Abstract
More than a decade after publishing The Quantified Warrior, an even more transformative future exists for redefining healthspan, resilience and performance with the rapid pace of technological improvement surrounding wearables, their associated data, and our ever-increasing understanding of the data with respect to human physiology and overall performance. In this presentation, I will talk about a feedback loop we refer to as Sense-Assess-Augment (SAA), a concept that underpins our view of the quantified human. While this work has its roots in military-specific examples I will cover, the application of this concept goes well beyond the military, with future examples in rehabilitation, neuromuscular disease, healthspan and more broadly, a future of human-machine teaming that will be ubiquitous in our everyday lives.
