Quantified Self Overview

What Is Quantified Self?

• Quantified Self is a movement to incorporate technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. mood, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical)

• Tracking and measuring aspects of your life to find ways to make it better• Tracking calories with a mobile app to lose weight

• Tracking physical activity with a pedometer to increase exercise

• Tracking sleep time and quality to improve restfulness

An Entire Ecosystem Is Emerging

Who Is Self Tracking?

• 15% of internet users tracked weight, diet, exercise online

• Women are more likely to do it than men

• People are more likely to track after significant health change (pregnancy, weight gain/loss, smoking cessation)
