Quotes

“I was born in Lisbon, Portugal and I consider myself a citizen of the world. I worked in sales in Portugal before coming to the UK. I always was interested in sports and technology and I started to work in the sport industry. In 2015 I became involved in technology and health and how the former can help with people’s lifestyle. There is when I got involved in wearables, my specialty.

There are different conflicts of interests when using technology in sports. The main problem is about privacy and giving away personal information. On a personal level, I don’t think there is any conflict in giving away data that also helps us. There are commercial concerns of course. But on a professional level these concerns become problematic. Employees being tracked might cross a line in privacy and the right to disconnect. There are ethical standpoints that need to be further discussed and find solutions.

However, the potential is there and, obviously, the idea is to keep moving forward. For example now with the COVID-19, wearable devices can help tracking people that are infected, the places and people they have been contacted with, even helping with early diagnosing”.
