As long as the wearable contains open source software and preferably open source hardware, then sure, I'd be willing to do so. Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.

Because then I could know ~~that I could control~~ where the data went.

It being open source doesn't mean you can mosify and run your own software on it and still have the agency accept you are compliant.

I said nothing about the agency whatsoever. I don't give a shit what they see as compliant or not. If it's not open source, I won't fucking use it.
