Amazon announces Halo, a fitness band and app that scans your body and voice

The tone of voice analysis could be a game changer for people with Asperger's. If it works well, it could provide valuable feedback. For neurotypicals I'm not so sure of its utility. Seems like it could cause anxiety.

An interesting feature would be the ability to replay what the microphone picked up. This would give more context to the analysis. Though again, this could cause a lot of anxiety as people replay situations and worry about how they sounded.

Is this the first step in an inevitable move towards healthcare as a service for big tech?

Now that's data slurping on a whole new level.
