The document discusses 'infoception,' defined as the integration of health, biometrics, cybernetics, and environmental data into a single profile, guided by principles of proximity, reactivity, and traceability. It also explores the 'quantified self' movement, which emphasizes the collection of personal health data via wireless devices for empowerment and informed decision-making, highlighting its social, predictive, and preventive principles. Furthermore, the text outlines the interplay between infoception and quantified self, suggesting that the latter is an instance of the former, ultimately contributing to digital empowerment through enhanced human-computer interactions.

2. INFOCEPTION
●
●
Definition
is defined in several
manners.The most
accurate now is to
consider infoception as
a combination of health
and
biometrics,cybernetics,
and environmental
data,gathered in a
single profile.

3. INFOCEPTION
●
●
●
Principles
Infoception is conducted in the observance of three
fundamental principles:
Proximity
●
●
Reactivity
●
●
Infoception Team reacts very quickly to stimulus
like operational emergencies,tech
changes,environmental hazards,profile brutal
modifications,crisis (any kind of..)
Tracability
●
●
The Infoception Team has to be a mix of experts
and technologues of the studied domains.
Infoception Team manage the process in a way
that allows monitoring and control of the
differents stages .
Complexity of the problems to solve explains the fact that
systemic approach is particularly relevant fo infoceptive
matters.

4. INFOCEPTION
Methods/R-D approach
●
How to build the so-called infoceptive profile of
any individual or groupware?
the steps are
–
●
–
variable testing procedures
–
●
software programming
–
●
scoring algorithms definition and
settlement
–
Methods
variables selection
small group testing
All the steps must involves all the issue's
stakeholders
Example:to follow musculoskeletal disorders
among profssional unsers of computers.

6. INFOCEPTION
●
●
●
Capture
Infoception is about to extract data from the
real world , so they can be used for
health,environment,cybernetics matters in
various complex digital treatments.
Data extraction is performed using digital
sensors,to capture the state of
cybernetics,health system,environment via
relevant data.

7. INFOCEPTION
●
●
●
Store
The informations captured via digital sensors
are stored in servers and managed in a
database,in order to be reused for any
relevant purpose , with
ethical-sensitive approach of the stock of
colllected data.

8. INFOCEPTION
●
Analyze
The core of infoception process is the
production and analysis of the infoceptive
profile.Analysis are based on symbiograms ,
●
aka visual representations of the
individual/groupware profile.

9. INFOCEPTION
●
Display
The analysis are symbiograms-centred
Symbiograms are basically graphics,but more
and more infographics, smart pictograms with
interactive options
●

10. INFOCEPTION
●
●
Share
The Symbiograms carry within informations or
charachteristics of the individual or
groupware.Given this , the graphic nature of
symbiograms make it easy to share ,in order to
solve problems and spread best practices and
solutions.

For decades Wired magazine
has been in the heart of tech
changes , as disruptor and/or
incubator of new ideas and
trends.
Authors could have been
amazed by the stream created
by quantified self.
Quantified self (QS)is more than
the latest techies hype;QS is
nothing but human digital
enpowerment at its meaningful
expression.

enpowerment and digital citizenship .
The two sides of QS gather in big
business and politics issues(digital

Principles(II)
4P
●
●
●
QS collect a lot of health data , so experts can exploit
the data to predict events as disease or recovery.
A large set of data from QS procedures allows the
design of prevention procedure for a wide range of
health issues (hypertension , glaucoma,diabetes..).
Personalized
QS is first for personal information,personal
decisions,given the distribution of data collected by the
wireless sensors.
Participative
●
QS is going social by the possibility of sharing and
comparing the collected data.

wireless/wearable hardwares design:
"Think big,design nano"
●
Methods(I
)
●
Big=big issues(healthcare,security,bionics)
nano=small sizes devices, ultramicrochips,

Real-life data
●
aka"raw data" , directly coming from the user/patient,without a
preparation.That means , these data must be adapted to the aim
and goals of a scientific use

●
●
A software is necessary to help people get profit of collected
data.Software often transform data into stats and graphs the
user may use for health parameters tracking,
fitnesstrategies, fatigue monitoring...
a QS user must know that his./her profile can be recorded
as a journey , and be interesting for a lot of
professionals(healthcare,insurance,marketing,big pharma...).
Digital coaching
●
A QS set up profile can be useful for coaching purposes
regarding personnal or professional goals.
