"It's one thing to think about ways that workers can navigate the wearables to be more efficient. The case is an example of what could happen when not just workers but employers and insurers begin to use wearable data in courts.

Such data can help managers establish productivity metrics and goals and help workers achieve bonuses and promotions based on merit. Do workers have any collective bargaining power to use this data to make sure they are getting compensated for their work?"
