2. I wanted to find a better way to keep
track of my health without the hassle
4. Why not use Facebook analytics?
• Largest quantity and variety of data available
• High quality images available
• Could images be a window into my health?
7. A rating over time could help me
forecast and track my health

15. What I learned
• Facial image data needs to be cleaned and carefully
selected. Face shapes are unique and need to be treated as
such.
• Data that is not present is often more telling than what is
present
• Life events effect my weight and should be put into
context; however causation is harder to determine than
correlation
• By being more conscious of my score and I can change my
behavior before things get off track
16. What would you include in a health
score? Want to give it a try?
