> Organizations can track employee or patient health, improve safety, and make decisions based on real physiological data. Enterprise use cases include remote medical screenings, restricting vehicle operation if a driver is unwell, or temporarily removing an employee from duty due to stress - even when no external signs are visible.
Not dystopian at all. \s Let's not give more ways for organizations to monitor people.

  "Us data for good" – protecting others from risks caused by a driver operating a vehicle while ill, or reducing the likelihood of workplace injuries resulting from an employee’s illness or deteriorating condition.Where and when else could sharing data be this beneficial?

    It however comes with organizations monitoring employees invasively. Harm reduction in all of the above can be achieved by having sane PTO / sick leave policies, and by decoupling healthcare from employment (in the US case).
    People are not working while ill or diminished because they love their work, they do it because they do not have the option to take time off to recover without consequences. Of course, businesses won't pick a human decency option and would rather work people to the bone and strap sensors to them to know when to discard them for the next in line as long as it maintains the current power dynamic.
