Episode 26: The power of data with Janelle Chubey

Are you addicted to your smart watch? There’s been a massive surge in people wearing smart watches, with Garmin posting record results thanks to its sports watches, but why? In this episode Emma is joined by Janelle Chubey, director of OEM at 4iiii and sports data expert. Janelle shares her view on the evolution of data within sport, the impact of this demand not just on performance in sport but also on our daily lives, as well as what the future of data might look like. We discuss addictions and reliance on smart watches and data, a topic Emma herself has grappled with, and consider how data can be both good and bad for the world. Janelle also shares how she has risen to the top of her industry and why data intrigues her, especially when it's applied to the medical world. It’s an eye-opening insight into a world which is quite literally infiltrating many people’s lives every day (and night if you track your sleep). Is there a smart watch on your wrist?
