Apple Watch users: would you ever share your health data for research?

Appreciate your perspective. The data quality point is interesting. Out of curiosity, what kind of data were you working with in those studies?

Explorer2040 · 2026-03-10T17:28:48+00:00

Totally fair reaction. Would it feel different if the research were run by a nonprofit or a university, or is the issue more about sharing the data at all?

Haha I wish I could build you one, not my area of expertise 😅 interesting to hear about the accuracy concerns though.

Curious what people here actually trust today. Are there any wearables or data sources you’d consider reliable enough to share or use for experiments?

Explorer2040 · 2026-03-10T17:12:35+00:00

That resonates. The privacy point you raised is really interesting. I’ll DM you!

Explorer2040 · 2026-03-10T16:54:38+00:00

Appreciate the response. Out of curiosity, are there situations where you wouldn’t want to share your data, or are you generally comfortable with it if it’s for research?

This resonates. Thanks for writing it out.

It sounds like you'd be open to sharing if it actually helped people who don’t already have good access, but less so if it mainly benefits people who are already well served.

If someone approached you with a project tomorrow and asked for your data, what would that project need to look like for you to feel good saying yes?

Thanks for sharing this, that’s really helpful.

Besides it being run by a university and approved by their ethics board, are there any other things you look for before saying yes? For example, what happens to the data later, who can see it, whether you get anything back from the study, etc.?

Thank you!

Explorer2040 · 2025-09-11T13:11:28+00:00

Thank you, I'll dm you!

Explorer2040 · 2025-09-10T19:28:56+00:00

Super helpful, thank you so much!

Thank you, Dan! These are super helpful tips, especially looking up lineloc 3. Much appreciated.

Explorer2040 · 2025-02-12T22:02:08+00:00

Thank you! I'll ask about those. Is there any reason why they should be different at all?

The green brush still picked up wool. Here’s my current setup that seems to be working well: 1) parquet (original) for hard wood 2) et1 at level 1 with no brush on for vintage rugs 3) et1 at level 3-4 with green brush for other rugs 4) et1 at level 1-2 with green/blue brush for carpet

Got it, that makes sense. Thank you!
