*Abstract:*

>From fitness bands to ingestible sensors, sensor tech has the potential to
drastically change our daily lives. Well known consumer technology
companies such as Fitbit and Jawbone help wearers keep track of their daily
activity, sensors built into watches by Apple and Samsung can measure heart
rate throughout the day, and pioneers in digestible sensors such as Proteus
Digital Health are developing systems that can track health with metrics
from within the body. Companies such as MC10 are pushing the limits of
wearables by developing the Biostamp, a sensor that can measure
temperature, movement, heart rate, and more within a device that is the
size of two postage stamps. As these devices become more ubiquitous, the
"connected human" will not only be able to monitor health metrics about
him/herself in real-time, but also be able to share that data with
healthcare professionals and other individuals. How will we adapt to this
fast-approaching reality and what challenges remain to utilize this
technology for improving human health?
