Data. Fitbit, is exceptional good about capturing data. Through its devices, scales, and app, data such as steps, sleep, heart rate, weight, and food are all easy to capture.
Information. Fitbit, on both its app and platform, also displays this data in a very user friendly fashion. Cumulative steps for the day? No problem.
Knowledge. Also, Fitbit does a great job of combining one’s daily information and plotting it all up on pretty, meaningful charts, including comparing some of one’s behaviors to a given population. Now, that’s knowledge!
However, how does one translate all of this data, information, and knowledge into action? Put another way, how does Fitbit actually change one’s behavior to lower one’s weight, or improve one’s health?
This is the gap which wearable technologies, even one as good as Fitbit, has yet to leap over.
This is the gap from Data, Information, and Knowledge to Wisdom.
