Nike+ FuelBand, a smart wristband that counts your physical activity in a proprietary form of points called Nike Fuel.
The band, similar to a previous generation sold as the Nike+ SportBand, is a device that measures activity in steps or calories. The updated device adds the Fuel counter as well as a series of colored LEDs that measure the day’s physical activity level. Users set a goal in Fuel points and then try to engage themselves in enough activity (of any kind) to reach the goal. A sedentary day shows red lights and increasing activity lights up toward green as the Fuel counter approaches 100%.
The device is as connected as one may expect: there’s an accompanying iOS app that can communicate with the wristband via Bluetooth, and there are also social network hooks to boast goals met on Facebook or Twitter. On the Web or on their phones, users can see their performance graphed out with visuals borrowed from the existing Nike+ product for runners.
The FuelBand syncs with the Nike+ website (with the built-in USB) and also wirelessly (using Bluetooth) to a free iPhone app.

nsight, Not Data, is the Key
When it comes to productizing these solutions for consumers, it’s important for entrepreneurs to remember to package their offerings not as Analytics, Data or Tools, but instead to sell Insights from the numbers. That’s where I think Quantification can move away from just efficacy and become about taking control of your own life. The emotional value of that is what people pay for.
People who embrace the trend of Life Tracking, identified by Contagious Magazine issue 29, capture valuable behavioral data about their actions, which companies in-turn make useful for the benefit and empowerment of individuals.
With the ubiquity of mobile technology, social media, and instant Internet, people are voluntarily generating and collecting data about themselves, and becoming better equipped to change their behavior based on that information. By tracking their actions and results, consumers are able to make better-informed purchase decisions based on personal data analysis. This could change the way brands approach using research results in their communications. As individuals track data more it will provide a way for them to see the real costs and benefits of products and services not simply in monetary terms, but physiological, psychological, and beyond. In this way, actionable big data will help consumers make better choices and a better life.
