Uhm, that is not really a fair claim.

The research field of "permanent biomonitoring" is barely five years

The data available to researchers until now have been so few and
of such limited duration that mathematical models simply didn't
contribute constructively.

Now that electronics have shrunk, physically and in terms of power,
it has finally become feasible to measure Homo Sapiens in its natural
