Is Apple’s Project Quartz data reliable?

By reading the title of the article, you may think why Apple should develop an important project like the Quartz project, which provides false information to users? And does the money spent on buying a smart watch only go into Apple’s pocket and does not benefit us more than carrying heavier weight and trending features?

Let’s look at the issue from a broader perspective and from the author of The Verge website.

Today, many Android and iOS users rely on health devices and apps and even go to sleep with a smart bracelet to get even more details about their body’s processes during the night. Such habits cause negative effects for the body and soul; Because thinking about lack of sleep not only makes the user face constant stress, but in the long term, you will see irreversible negative effects that threaten the health of the soul and body.

The relationship between the Quartz project and the low accuracy of health services

In 2014, the CEO of Apple repeatedly announced that their next goal is to produce and develop tools related to people’s health, and a year later, Apple launched the Apple Watch by entering the field of health and smart watches.

Although many companies started producing smart watches before Apple, the competition market became hotter than before when Apple entered this field, and Amazon also started offering Phillpack, which is a website and service based on providing medical and pharmaceutical services.

Now, Bloomberg News has published new information about Apple’s assistant service called Quartz, which is a feature and program developed for the Apple Watch, and whose task is to focus on mental health.

Although such news is essential for users who rely on health-oriented services, Apple failed to develop a dynamic operating system for the Apple Watch and a device based on user behavior. In connection with this issue, Elizabeth Lopato explains that more than 7 years have passed since the release of Apple’s smart watch and health measurement programs, their performance has not seen any special changes, and setting the notification settings to the default mode significantly prevents the user from tracking the status. His health makes him tired and discouraged.

He also criticized Healthkit’s performance during the Covid-19 pandemic, saying:

I contracted this virus during the covid19 pandemic and while I was being treated, Healthkit informed me that I had walked less this week than in previous weeks and did not provide accurate information about my condition.

Despite such problems, it is believed that Apple Watch customers are extremely nervous, judgmental and incompetent people, and any person or group that uses these settings on the Apple Watch should be treated by Quartz itself so that the service is more reliably available to users. to be placed

Destructive effects of digitization

The mentioned reasons do not make users stop buying Apple Watch, but even consider its features useful and vital despite frequent and annoying notifications. On the other side of the story, if some users are vulnerable and sensitive, they check the program several times a day, and the evaluations displayed in the program, which are collected from the user’s behavior and mood, along with the annoying spice of notifications, make the situation worse and worse. and the notifications only emphasize the poor sleep situation for the freelancer.

In the meantime, we come to a bigger issue called digitization, which companies like Apple are adding to their operating system. For example, journaling or writing a daily diary is one of the ideas that, although Apple will proudly unveil it for its operating system and platform, you can write down your daily activities much cheaper and even for free, and your information and specifications. Do not share with Apple.

In order to avoid this situation, one of the extremely cheap and interactive tools for recording events is called the office, which can be purchased for less than 2 dollars and even 50,000 tomans, and besides providing the ability to connect different tags for personalization and feeling. The new version does not require a battery or access to the Internet.

Today, the term “Touch grass” is used for people who have never seen the sun, the moon, and the sun, who spend all their daily hours playing games or interacting with technology tools and do not leave the house. Meanwhile, virtual reality headsets have the same intention of promoting user laziness.

Instead of spending time outside the house and in the park, many users put the virtual reality headset in front of their eyes and interact with the unreal world for hours, so that their mental state may improve compared to before, and they think that the numbers have a significant effect on improving performance. They will have brain and soul.

In the meantime, the data released from health apps and Apple Watch has a direct relationship with the way people search and their mental health, and by searching for signs and numbers displayed, they will come across strange and disturbing results, which in the worst case It will also reduce the life expectancy of the user.

Making money with users

We all experience more complex and easier life with the development of software and technology field, and most of the time, our life is intertwined with the components of this field. However, we are interactive creatures, and instead of spending all our time on the computer, we should spend time with our fellow humans to become psychologically happier, calmer, and more social.

Recently, many promotional videos about ChatGPT chatbot are uploaded on YouTube, where ChatGPT plays the role of a friend in the GUI and offers you to interact with him to pass the time, share feelings and information.

Apple’s health-oriented notifications are only suitable for a special range of users, and its unscientific approach, combined with little research, causes users to suffer from various diseases, and these notifications not only fail to inform them of their condition and health, but also It enters a cycle of worry and anxiety, and considering the mental state, the body is also stuck in this quagmire.

Apple’s involvement in mental health is worrying for many activists in the field of technology and health; Because Apple developers also need to understand psychology and flexibility in order to be familiar with and deal with the complex process of people’s lives.

Apple’s sincere approach and providing health data in the form of incomplete medical apps and services puts users’ health at risk, and it is likely that some users with disease-related backgrounds will welcome this feature and allow Apple to interact with emotions and Their data can be played and misused.

The published news about Apple selling user data to Google and providing screen-based features not only does not help improve health, but also forces us to interact more with software and tools, so that Apple at its next event will receive a unique welcome from users and spend Enjoy your valuable hours to doubt your physical and mental condition and think about more income thanks to us.
