@0ecd8d1a @4183a04c @3a447f2a We could do better by assessing how effectively people are able to pace and what kinds of support actually work, and quantifying how effective it is. An in-home robot could observe actual activity which could be cross-referenced against symptom and medication data to get a more accurate picture of patients' actual capacity.
Yet pacing, the one tool patients have extensively employed, remains largely unstudied.

@bdabbff7 @0ecd8d1a @4183a04c @3a447f2a If someone's going to put a robot in my house, I'd rather have one that does some of the housework rather than one that watches and records me not doing the housework. Kinder, I think.
@0177da18 @0ecd8d1a @4183a04c @3a447f2a I was envisioning a robot that would do all the lifting and carrying - move groceries from the door to the kitchen counter, lift laundry baskets, and bring me a lunch tray.
But what I really need is something to track cognitive exertion and posture.
Am I avoiding looking at blinky things? What does my phone to no-screen time ratio look like? Am I spending more time horizontal or sitting up?
