Introduction

From the humble beginnings of the mechanical pedometer, to its evolution into Nike+’s iPod sensor, to today’s feature rich smart watches filled with features such as heart rate sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS. Users are demanding an increasing amount of data to track their progress and guide their health and fitness planning. The mobile nature of these wearables is critical to the adoption of these devices. But in 2019, are we starting to reach the limitations of what Smart watches and fitness trackers can do? Will the future of wearables not be wearables at all? Is the implantable sensor the next stage in evolution for the mobile fitness movement?

About Me
Hi my name is Christopher Wong. I’m currently a education technology graduate student, middle school science teacher and running fanatic. You can usually find me on the weekends riding my bicycle or training for my next half-marathon. I live on statistics when I work out and use them to guide my performance and track my progress. Earlier this year, I conducted an OER on how mobile technologies are changing the do it yourself fitness movement and became engrossed with where this technology was headed. Based on what I have read and seen, I am confident that implanted sensors are the future of fitness tracking.
