The Halo collects the most intimate information we&#8217;ve seen from a consumer health gadget &#8211; and makes the absolute least use of it. This wearable is much better at helping Amazon gather data than at helping you get healthy and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenwichtime.com\/news\/article\/Amazon-s-new-health-band-is-the-most-invasive-15790598.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at GT<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from WaPo via Greenwich Time Amazon&#8217;s new health band is the most invasive tech we&#8217;ve ever tested by Geoffrey A.
