Could be next data point to go mainstream - see existing companies (there are more than this): http://www.sizestream.com/ https://www.bodylabs.com/ http://www.oaklabs.is/ http://memorymirror.com/ http://fits.me/ http://bodymetrics.com/
You’ll give companies access to this data all the time

You’ll try on clothes in VR - see yourself and how you look in them
Eventually, most clothing will be on demand and therefore perfectly tailored - you won’t be trying on sizes, you’ll simply be seeing different designs/colors/sizes on yourself.
Could revolutionize clothing design
Cost, brand etc will be tied up with quality, speed, and other factors.
In fact there may just be local clothes printing stations: http://www.electroloom.com/

Virtual health will get easier (benefits of virtual health have already been covered at length by many https://www.accenture.com/us-en/insight-virtual-health)
Insurance companies are already incentivizing good health habits (and this will go further with more tracking)
Scan could be much more in depth than at home tools
We will likely see more hardware and software available for providing real time updates to healthcare providers.
Some of these devices/software will double for providing updates to other channels (games etc, since some of these channels will only accept data from more “official” data collection methods)
Anomalies in data could trigger notifications and healthcare providers will be the ones requesting appointments (mostly virtual) instead of the other way around http://diatribe.org/google-secures-patent-glucose-sensing-contact-lens

We already use fingerprints for payments
Eye scans are in progress
Could be a series of other body data
We’ll have the ability to sell our body data
Verified achievements
