I don't have any data on hand to back this up, but I don't think younger people are necessarily averse to monitoring their own health. I think personal health monitoring devices fit well with the devices the younger generation already uses to help maintain their identity and concept of self.
I agree if it's poorly implemented or marketed it won't be adopted, but Apple probably has a shot at getting it right.
I agree. I've only seen middle aged office workers wear stuff like Fitbit, posture correction, sleep tracking type of things. Young people don't have to worry about 'sitting is new smoking' .
There is a nerdy segment that loves tracking all of this health data forever and ever.
There is also the segment that just wants to lose weight, and that can apply at all ages. A continuous glucose monitor is also a great way to monitor keto diets or similar. Keep yourself under a certain glucose level continuously and your body will be forced to use fat sources!
