The Halo keeps track of an almost-alarming range of biometric data: your sleep patterns and heart rate, step count and body fat. It listens to your every conversation and evaluates your
vocal tone to evaluate how you re coming off to other people. But it’s most insistent that you earn 150 “points” in a Monday-Sunday window. A minute of moderate activity gets you one point, while one minute of intense activity gets you two. You get a point for every 20 minutes of light activity but get docked a point for every hour over eight that Halo thinks you’re sedentary. (The company says it s based on a mix of heart rate and movement data, but as far as I can tell this almost exactly tracked the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendation that people get 150 to 300 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 to 100 minutes of intense exercise per week. For such a futuristic gadget it’s a sensible if not exactly cutting-edge baseline.)
