一般来说，可穿戴技术，特别是移动健康数据，经常受到支持，因为它们提供了个人代理和授权的方式，并促进了罗伯特·伍德约翰逊基金会（RWJF）所称的“健康文化”。这篇文章根据对RWJF的健康倾听活动数据的情景分析结果，使这种分析复杂化，该活动包括来自RWJF，JawBone，Inc.，量化自我和其他移动健康技术组织以及在社区卫生工作的观众参与者。鉴于小组成员和观众对移动健康数据如何成功或失败创造健康文化的不同说法，我将不稳定性作为一种分析结构，用于批评技术科学进步与弱势群体之间持续存在的健康差距共存。
Wearable technologies in general and mHealth data in particular are championed frequently for ways they afford individual agency and empowerment and promote what the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) calls a “culture of health.” This article complicates such epideictic rhetorics based on results from a situational analysis of the RWJF’s Data for Health listening events, which incorporated panelists from the RWJF, JawBone, Inc., the Quantified Self, and other mHealth technology organizations as well as audience participants who work in community health. Given panelists’ and audiences’ diverging claims about how mHealth data either succeed or fail in creating a culture of health, I mobilize precarity as an analytic construct for critiquing the coexistence of technoscientific progress alongside the persistence of health disparities among vulnerable populations.
