Ok, this guy could have opted out of this and I'm sure as a journalist he decided to opt-in to be able to write about it, so it's not QUITE as Orwellian as he makes it out, but it is none-the-less a disturbing trend. If his dental plan makes him use an IoT toothbrush to confirm he's brushing regularly and using that to set his insurance premium, how far away are we from a health insurance provider requiring you wear a Fit-Bit type device as part of your insurance plan? Creepy.
