You’re getting downvoted a lot, but honestly you’re right. The fact that corporations are arguing over who gets to use technology that could help people with, or could have, medical conditions is really depressing. I get that an Apple Match isn’t going to be that accurate, but it could still be a sign that something is off.

Technology could help people, but I guess this is why we can’t have nice things.
