Fitbit Founders’ New AI Gizmo to Babysit Your Health — Because Apparently You Can’t Be Trusted With Your Own Body

So, the Fitbit founders — yeah, those fitness-tracking overlords who’ve been judging your step count for years — have now decided to crank it up to eleven. They’ve launched some shiny new AI platform that basically snoops on your entire family’s health like an over-caffeinated stalker bot. It’s supposed to “help” families monitor wellness, detect weird stuff early, and probably send you smug notifications that you had one too many donuts. Great. Because what I really needed in my life was *more* devices tattling on me.

Apparently, this miracle of modern tech hooks into wearables, sensors, and the cloud — so Big Health Brother can tell if grandma’s heart rate spikes, your kid’s sleep sucks, or you’re still ignoring your exercise bike. It even promises to “personalize” care using algorithms smarter than most people’s common sense. Translation: the machine now tells you you’re screwing up your health in high definition.

Of course, the article gushes about “empowering families” and “preventive health revolution.” Yeah, sure — and I’m the bloody Tooth Fairy. It’s another data-hoovering machine disguised as a wellness savior. Because what could possibly go wrong when you mix AI, personal health data, and Silicon Valley’s wet dream of monetizing your heartbeat? Nothing to see here, folks, just a little friendly surveillance for your own good.

Anyway, the Fitbit founders are now acting like digital guardians of humanity’s health — when really, it’s just another way to keep you plugged into their shiny little ecosystem of guilt and metrics. Next thing you know, the thing will start judging your fridge contents and send passive-aggressive pings to your doctor. Can’t wait for that future. Bloody marvellous.

Signoff: Reminds me of the time some poor sod installed “smart” health software on the office PCs, and the system started tracking everyone’s “wellness habits.” I replaced its health alerts with Rick Astley lyrics. Lasted two hours before HR exploded. Worth it.
