A crescente incorporação de tecnologias inteligentes na vida profissional transformou a forma como se concilia trabalho, família e desempenho, especialmente entre mulheres acadêmicas de alto desempenho. Este artigo examina o uso de tecnologias portáteis nesse segmento, analisando seu impacto na experiência cotidiana, na produtividade e no equilíbrio entre trabalho e família, para examinar as tensões que surgem em relação ao uso de tecnologias portáteis para gerenciar a conciliação entre trabalho e família, a partir da experiência incorporada de mulheres acadêmicas de alto desempenho. A partir de uma abordagem dos estudos críticos da tecnologia, problematiza-se como essas ferramentas, longe de serem neutras, reforçam normas corporais, afetivas e de gênero. Foram entrevistadas 40 participantes chilenas que lideraram projetos FONDECYT Regular entre 2020 e 2024. A técnica de produção de informação foi a entrevista ativa, que depois foi analisada através de análise de conteúdo. Nos resultados, argumenta-se que o auto-rastreamento pode atuar como tecnologia de controle e autoexigência, embora também possibilite formas de reapropriação e resistência. O artigo propõe o uso crítico das tecnologias para encarar a conciliação não como um problema individual, mas como uma tensão estrutural que exige transformações institucionais e culturais.
