to do what with? unless you're going to also increase grants to nih studies for wearable devices to study and improve something involving the health system, what is the benefit besides making apple richer?

Vitals? You mean location. They don't give a rat's ass about your vitals.
They'll have a lot of fun correlating your media consumption and your vitals to know exactly what you like and dislike, especially about politics. Then they know who to target for layoffs, arrest and/or deportation.

Only if using 5G.

It makes the police state more efficient.

False. All data has value. Vitals can 100% be used to sell targeted ads for pharmacuticals, supplements, lifestyle brands, gyms, and more. Also if it has a microphone it's listening to everything.
What types of data does the US sell to advertisers? Do you have ANY evidence of the always listening mic? You'd figure after 10 years of this we'd have at least some evidence, right?

Mine runs on me. It especially likes me wanking.
Good ol' wank-o-clock.

RFK jr’s wants, needs, desire to continue breathing move me not at all.
He can fuck off.
If we had a science-backing and non-Nazi government who I had any belief in their ability and will to keep our data safe, this might be really cool. When I first got an Apple Watch and saw all the ways it benefits me I honestly wished everyone had one by default.
Instead, something like this would simply be used to further control people especially women since it can track monthly cycles (to my knowledge at least.)

As long as the wearable contains open source software and preferably open source hardware, then sure, I'd be willing to do so. Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.

I assume they can already get your location from your phone.

They lobotomized the wrong Kennedy.

Something something government tracking with microchips

He reminds me of the 'precious bodily fluids' general from Dr Strangelove.
edit:
holy crap, I just rewatched the movie and RFK is EXACTLY that general. The general talks about toxins from fluoride in drinking water poisoning our precious bodily fluids. He even looks a bit like RFK. Its almost RFK is trying to act exactly like that general.General Jack D. Ripper.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.
Do you know why most people don't get those?
Insurance won't cover them.Many insurance providers won't cover them.Maybe start there? Although I'm guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.

American evangelicals when the government suggests getting a vaccine for a deadly virus- "IT'S THE MARK OF THE BEAST DON'T GET IT OR YOU'LL GO TO HELL"
American evangelicals when people they voted for say you need to wear something on your wrist to participate in society - "This is fine"
A wearable computer is much more similar in form to what is described in the Book of Revelation than a vaccine is, but these dumbasses don't see that because they're not operating on logic but instead are just doing what they're told.

"Wearables" but they forget to mention it's about government mandated trackers in a closed ecosystem.
They will track which bad (health or otherwise) groups of people one has come in contact with and make deductions based on that.Ofcourse it's also extra business for the ice teams.
And the deluxe wearable also tracks payments.The European Covid tracking app back then already was very scary in its early setup ... and this mandated wearable idea will be far worse.

The best part is the random bill.
- Go to the doctor. Get blood drawn.
- Doctor send the blood to a lab for the test. Doesn't tell me who. I don't care who. It's their subcontractor, let them worry about it.
*Go back to the doctor or get a call for results. Pay the doctor the standard co-pay.
*Months later a random company sends me a bill. This is a company that I have never interacted with or entered into any contract with, for work that somebody else (presumably my doctor, but who the fuck knows for sure) asked them to do for them, sending the results to that other person and NOT to me.
The system is broken. If any other company subcontracted a part of their work to a third party, you as the client would reasonably expect that work to be paid through the original contract, not get a bill directly from the subcontractor. I didn't hire them, the doctor hired them. As far as I'm concerned, that's the doctor's subcontractor and their debt, not mine. I paid the doctor already.
Or another variant.
- Go to the emergency room.
- Get separate bills FOR THE SAME SERVICE from the hospital, the doctor, and somehow the hospital again but this time it's the emergency room (which is somehow separate with a different billing company).
The system is not just broken. It is designed to fleece us and train us to always accept whatever debt the institutions decide to levy on us without question.

Not to mention your general health status to insurance companies. Bad health score? Worse insurance deal
Exactly!

The thought of a low battery alert saying “fancy a wank. M8?” got a laugh out of me

That would be a violation of the hiipa act. Your samples get sent anonymous to the Lab with only a case number. They only know the adress of the doctor.
If your doctor didn't anonymise your sample and the lab used it to send you a bill, they're in deep waters.
