Quantified Self - The Human App Instrument
The quantified self economy features several activity monitoring devices as well as hundreds of applications that can track several aspects of your life. Atomic Axis believes that the problem with these applications is that they are disparate. They function and churn data for an individual independent of the other facets of human existence. Sure, an app can tell you how long you slept last night and can even illustrate your sleep cycle in an impressive visualization and analytical interface—but can it extrapolate that information to tell you how that data will affect your mood, efficiency and behavior throughout the day? The overall theme of their vision is that organizations are finding interesting ways to gather data and use that data to make predictions. As soon as we are able to find a meaningful way to correlate quantified self data, can we use that data in an effort to solve large scale health issues? Just as Google was able to predict flu trends using aggregated search queries, we can use aggregated health information to make certain predictions that can improve individual and certain demographic’s quality of life, reduce healthcare expenditures by understanding exactly where funds need to be allocated, and aid health professionals in their effort to detect, prevent and remediate any potential large scale health issue.
