KPI stands for key performance indicator. Usually, this refers to the amount of money that a business is making. The most common KPIs are Revenue, Profit margin, and client retention.
KPI is usually limited to what can actually be measured. Businesses are constantly creating and reviewing data. But personal KPIs are a new concept. It isn’t exactly practical, for example, to carry around a notepad and make a note every time you tell your spouse you
love them, and then take some graph paper and make a line graph at the end of the month.
The internet of things (IoT), also called “wearable tech” can track things we never thought possible only a decade ago. Things like real-time blood sugar levels, your heart rate 24 hours a day, your REM sleep, etc.
On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interview Jairek Robbins. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is how much I learned about how he tracks personal KPIs using wearable tech. Here are three of the things he tracks, and how:
Mood Meter
Measuring your emotions has come a long way since mood rings in 1975. Today we have apps that can track your mood. When you open the app, it gives you a range of emotions and energy levels to choose from, and tracks it for you.
Levels: Blood Sugar
Diabetics would track their blood sugar by taking a sample of blood, sometimes several times a day. This would be a painful process, not to mention it’s hard to keep needles safely organized and then dispose of them when you are done. Today, it’s so easy to track your blood sugar by using a patch that you can wear on your arm that people in good health and even elite athletes opt to wear a patch to monitor their blood sugar levels and get insights to their diet and behavior.
Health Apps/Phone Pedometers
Phones today have built in sensors that can act as pedometers. It’s pretty common to hear people talking about getting their “10,000 steps in” because you can burn one pound of fat if you take 10,000 steps every day. Just because your phone tracks it doesn’t necessarily mean that you actually look at the phone and keep track. If you track the data by opening the app and making adjustments to your behavior, you will increase your personal KPIs.
