Ukulandelela Impilo: Angakanani amadivaysi okulandelela angasebenzisa ngokugcwele ukusebenza kwethu?

Yidla kahle futhi uzivocavoce. Sonke siwezwile la mazwi ahlakaniphile, futhi azwakala elula kakhulu. Kodwa ilula kangakanani ngempela? Sonke siyakwazi ukufunda amalebula ekudleni naseziphuzweni zethu. Ngakho-ke singabe sesihlanganisa izinombolo ukuze sinqume ukuthi mangaki amakhalori esiwadle ngosuku.

Isikhathi eside engikhumbula ngaso, othile wayengaya ejimini futhi agxume ku-treadmill, ibhayisikili, noma i-elliptical, futhi afake isisindo sakhe. Khona-ke umshini uzozama ukulandelela ukuthi mangaki ama-calories umuntu ashile. Okuncike ekutheni ugijima kangakanani noma uhamba ngezinyawo kangakanani.

Ngamandla ethu obuchopho obungavuthiwe, kanye neminye imishini yokuzivocavoca, sikwazile ukulinganisa ukuthi mangaki amakholori esiwadle saphinde sawashisa ngosuku. Manje amathuluzi afana ne-Apple Watch kanye neFitbit alandelela ukushaya kwenhliziyo yakho, izinyathelo, nomsebenzi usuku lonke—hhayi nje ngesikhathi osisebenzisela ukuba ku-treadmill—okusisiza ukuthi sithole isithombe esingcono sokufaneleka kwethu kukonke usuku nosuku. isisekelo.

Izilandeleli zokufaneleka zingase zizwakale njengamathuluzi anamandla okusiza othile ukuba abe sesimweni esihle, kodwa kukhona amaphutha amakhulu ngamathuluzi amanje asetshenziswayo. Ukwehluleka okumangaza kakhulu kwabalandeleli bokuqina yilokho zingabalinganisi bezinyathelo ezingcono kakhulu kunezilinganisi zamakhalori. Njengoba abantu abaningi begxila kakhulu kumakholori adliwe futhi ashiswa lapho bezama ukuncipha noma ukukhuluphala, ukungqubuzana ekubaleni amakhalori kunamandla okuqeda ngokuphelele ukudla komuntu.

UDan Heil, uprofesa we-physiology yokuzivocavoca e-Montana State University, uchazile Wired esihlokweni esithi “Kungani Izibalo Zekhalori Ze-Fitness Tracker Zingaphezu Kwemephu”, “Wonke umuntu ucabanga ukuthi lapho idivayisi inikeza isibalo sekhalori ukuthi inembile, futhi lapho kulele ingozi... kukhona umkhawulo omkhulu wephutha kanye nekhalori yangempela ukufunda ama-kilojoule angu-1,000 600] kukhona phakathi kwama-kilojoule angu-1,500 no-XNUMX XNUMX.”

U-Heil uphinde uveze izizathu ezimbili zokuthi ama-algorithms asetshenziswa abalandeleli bokufaneleka anembe ngendlela exakile. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amadivayisi awanaki okwenzeka ngaphakathi komzimba wakho, ukunyakaza kwakho kuphela. Baphinde babe nenkinga yokunquma ukunyakaza kwakho kanye nezenzo zakho. Eqinisweni, ukuthola isibalo esithembekile samakholori ashisiwe, a Idivayisi ye-calorimeter iyadingeka.

Amakhalori akala ukusetshenziswa komoyampilo futhi, ngokusho kukaHeil, ama-calories angaqondile ayindlela elungile yokukala amakhalori ashisiwe. Njengoba ukuphefumula kunokuhlobana okuqondile nenani lamandla asetshenzisiwe.

Pho kungani abantu bengahwebi ngama-iWatches abo ukuze bathole ama-calories? Ngokusho kwe Wired i-athikili, izindleko zemishini ye-calorimeter isukela ku-$30,000 kuya ku-$50,000. Lawa madivayisi aphinde abe ngamathuluzi asetshenziswa endaweni yelebhu, njengoba bengebaningi abantu abanamashumi ezinkulungwane zamadola abangawachitha ekuqapheni ukufaneleka. Nakuba kwenziwa imizamo yokuthuthukisa abalandeleli bokufaneleka ngokuzayo.

Enye indawo yokuqamba izinto ezintsha yizingubo zokujima “ezihlakaniphile”. ULauren Goode, umbhali we Ikhodi / ikhodi, muva nje uzame ibhulukwe lokujima le-Athos “smart”. Amabhulukwe abequkethe izinzwa ezincane ze-electromyography nezinhliziyo ezixhunywe ngokungenantambo kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-iPhone. Futhi, ngaphandle kwebhulukwe umuntu uthola "umgogodla". Lena idivayisi ehlwithwe eceleni kwebhulukwe equkethe i-Bluetooth chip, i-gyroscope, ne-accelerometer (amathuluzi afanayo atholakala kuzilandeleli zokuqina ze-wristband zamanje).

Okwenza ibhulukwe le-Athos uLauren aligqoke ngokukhethekile yikhono labo lokulinganisa umzamo wemisipha, oboniswa ngemephu yokushisa kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-iPhone. Nokho, u-Lauren uveza ukuthi, “Impela kunendaba engokoqobo yokungakwazi ukubheka i-smartphone yakho ngenkathi wenza ama-squats namaphaphu kanye nokunye ukuvivinya umzimba okuningi.” Uhlelo lokusebenza lufika luhlome ngesici sokudlala futhi, ukuze ukwazi ukukhombisa ukuthi ubusebenza kanzima kangakanani ngemuva kokujima kwakho futhi uxazulule noma yiziphi izinkinga ngesikhathi esilandelayo lapho ufika ejimini. U-Lauren uphinde waveza ukuthi amabhulukwe abengakhululekile njengebhulukwe elivamile lokujima, mhlawumbe ngenxa yamagajethi engeziwe abeze nawo.

I-Athos akuyona ukuphela kwenkampani ehlola izingubo zokujima ezihlakaniphile. Kukhona futhi i-Omsignal eseMontreal kanye neSensoria esekwe eSeattle. Lezi zinkampani zinikeza okwazo ukuhluka kanye nentuthuko yokulandelela umsebenzi ngamabhulukwe e-yoga, amasokisi, namahembe okucindezela.

Izingubo ezihlakaniphile ezikhuluma nodokotela wakho

Lezi zingubo ezihlakaniphile zingadlulela nangale kwezinhloso zokuzivocavoca kuphela. Isikhulu se-Intel uBrian Krzanich uyatshela Ikhodi / ikhodi ukuthi amahembe aqapha idatha yezempilo angaxhunywa kochwepheshe bezokwelapha. Kanye nokuba yithuluzi lokuxilonga lezokwelapha elivumela ukuthi odokotela bathole ukuqonda ngaphandle kwesiguli ngisho nokushiya ikhaya laso.

Yize amabhulukwe e-Athos nezinye izingubo ezihlakaniphile zithakazelisa. Basadinga okuthile ngaphandle okufana “nomgogodla” okufanele kukhishwe ngaphambi kokuwashwa, futhi okumele kukhokhiswe ngaphambi kokuwusebenzisa.

Ngakho-ke, noma ngobuchwepheshe azikho izinsimbi ze-Fitbit-esque ezidingekayo. Lezi zingubo ezihlakaniphile azikakabi, kahle, zonke ezihlakaniphile zodwa. Futhi, nakuba ifinyeleleka kakhulu kunemishini ye-calorimeter, leli giya elihlakaniphile libiza amakhulu amaningana amadola futhi manje selihloselwe kakhulu abasubathi. Noma kunjalo ngeke kumangaze uma eminyakeni embalwa singathenga amasokisi asitshele ukuthi lihle kangakanani ifomu lethu lokugijima esitolo sethu sempahla yezemidlalo sendawo—asikakafiki.

Esikhathini esizayo esikude, i-DNA yethu ingase isivumele ukuba silandelele futhi sihlele umsebenzi wethu ngendlela ephumelela kakhudlwana. SI Intatheli uTom Taylors uthi, "Mayelana nokuthi singaya kuphi eminyakeni engu-50 uma sibheka ukuhlaziywa kwe-DNA, isibhakabhaka kufanele sibe umkhawulo." Ukuhlaziywa kwe-DNA kunemiphumela engathi sína ngekusasa lokuqina, uTaylor uyachaza, "Kuzoba indinganiso hhayi nje kumsubathi, kodwa ukuthi ngamunye wethu abe nolwazi lokuthi iyini i-DNA yethu, azi ukuthi kuyini ukulimala kwethu, azi ukuthi yini yethu. ukuthambekela kokugula." Ngakho-ke ukuhlaziya i-DNA kungasisiza ukuthi sithole idatha esiyidingayo ukuze sihlanganise ukujima kwethu ukuze sithole inzuzo enkulu ngengozi encane.

Ukugijima amamayela amabili ngemizuzu engamashumi amabili nge-tracker yokufaneleka akufani nomzimba wakho kunokugijima amamayela amabili ngemizuzu engamashumi amabili ngaphandle kwe-tracker yokufaneleka. Ekekho neyodwa izidingo idivayisi yokulandelela kanye nokuqoqa idatha ukuze uzivocavoce. Abakuniki ukuqhuma kwamandla okungazelelwe namandla amakhulu (abantu basebenzela amaphilisi angenza lokho). Abantu bayathanda ukulawula kodwa. Bathanda ukubona ukujima kwabo ngendlela elinganisekayo—kungasiza ekusikhuthazeni.
