Okay, fine. Activity trackers for health and fitness I get. But has anyone done activity trackers for people with chronic illness that helps you *keep within your spoons*?

For some people it can be easy to overdo it. Also eg if you've had COVID or have long COVID, would it be helpful to have an activity tracker that explicitly helps you take it slow and not over-exert yourself?

I mean, you're supposed to *rest* when getting over COVID never mind long COVID, but my cursory review doesn't show activity trackers with an explicit convalescence mode, you know, 2+ years into a pandemic that will never end.

@danhon This kind of reminds me of that thing that I think you posted a while ago about smart scales not handling growing children well.

@dys_morphia one example is when our Withings scale congratulated my wife on losing weight.

After she'd had a caesarean.
