Team AA group of medical professionals from the health ministry who want the government to issue wearable health monitoring technology to all Ontario residents. The devices, some of which can be incorporated as apps on smart phones, will collect and report anonymized health information to better track population health metrics. The metrics can then be used to improve health care delivery in the province. In order to encourage people to wear the devices, a tax deduction is to be offered to residents who wear their device (turn on their apps) for some minimum number of hours per week.
Team BA group of residents who oppose the use of government issued health monitoring and reporting devices. They worry that the government cannot protect the information being collected; in addition, they worry that insurers will raise the rates for residents who make `unhealthy choices' and that residents may not know how their individual choices affect their insurance rates.
