About a year or so ago I got interested in the possibilities of using a GPS Data logger as a memory aid.
basically it keeps a daily record of your movements down almost to the second.
Scares the hell out of some people but to me its magic.
I can at any time go back to the saved tracks and find out all sorts of things about what I was doing.
I also had a sneaking suspicion that such a record may one day blow ACC corrupt record keeping right out the window.
Well now it seems an outfit named VX Sports is trying to sell GPS data logging to Atheletes. Seemingly claiming it to be their discovery.
However they have added accelerometers to their data loggers so that when a person carries them they show up any injuries that the person may have.
I bet a lot of you can already see a few ACC preferred assessors climbing under the table.
For example, on the radio today the VX person talked about an Architiect who carries a VX Sports gps data logger at all times.
because he had an heart attack at an early age and the gps data can show exactly how he is performing and whether he is overdoing things.
IF Acc is so keen on "Evidential Medicine" (I have found ACC avoids any evidential medical testing like a plague and even gets preferred people to over write evidential findings and other file material)
Then at a guess they should be very excited by a device smaller than a cell phone (In my case smaller than a matchbox) which can keep complete records of clients lives and now seemingly show injury effects as well.
If I had brains I'd find out how one becomes a distributor of these things and sell them as I am a confirmed convert and look foward to the day when ACC file material can be compared to the evidence collected by my GPS Data logger, using it with a digital camera is even more magic.
The range of data these darn things collect is amazing and every day it seems we find more uses for it.
Even comparing people doing the same tasks and seeing who or where each performs differently is good, even comparing different vehicles doing the same journey is helpful
Get One! seems they range from about $70 upward.
