Definitely. It makes lying intentional which must be (however briefly) planned out. Alternatively, with all sorts of device tracking and information available, it makes it easier to prove you aren't lying. The example of the woman with the fitbit is why lying needs to be more deliberate. If she wanted to file the false report, she could have simply taken her fitbit off and shown it as "sleeping" for a few hours. The evidence would back her story up rather than hurt it. Of course if she was telling the truth and the fitbit was on the whole time, the motion tracking should line up with the story (more or less), going from calm to active during the time of the attack.

I must say, as an owner of a Fit bit, it isn't always accurate. I've nodded off for a half hour and it doesn't register as sleep.
