Embodied Technology and the Quantified Self with Dr. Steven LeBoeuf

In this episode of "Technically Human," I dive into the history, the sociology, and the ethics of wearables with Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, the President and Co-Founder of Valencell Technologies. We talk about how wearable technologies trouble the boundaries of what we call a "self," and how what it means to be human is changing as we increasingly enlist technologies on our bodies in reporting on what is happening in our bodies.

We talk about the evolution of wearables, the technologies that go into wearable tech, and why you might want to think twice about wearing devices that collect information about what goes on inside your body, especially if you don't know who might be using that data--or why.
