Why would the data only be used for patology?

* Diet balancig? (Hey, eat more cucumbers)

* Calories? (IANAD)

* Also more serendipiteous opportunities we can't foresee now

Or:

(at the doctor's)

t = 0 - Doc - I would need a urine analysis

t = 60s - User - Here you are.

Cons:

* Huge privacy concerns (Hey, you are fired! btw, you also have cancer)

It's possible that a) diet isn't that hard to figure out and b) gamifying, quantifying, testing, and over-extrapolation from isolated scientific results make people confused and much less effective at making the right decisions consistently, which is the part they really need help with.
