Abstract

A system for using telemetry data is in communication with a wearable device that communicates with a social network. One or more sensors are coupled to a wearable device that has a unique user ID configured to acquire at least one of a user'"'"'s activities, behaviors and habit information A telemetry system is in communication with the one or more sensors. The telemetry system includes a database of the user ID'"'"'s. The telemetry system analyzes the telemetry data based on at least one of, user'"'"'s activities, behaviors and habit information, and creates personalized information about the user. ID circuitry is included at the wearable device. The ID circuitry has an ID storage and a communication system that reads and transmits the unique ID from the ID storage.
