The document discusses various topics related to the quantified self movement including tracking health metrics, productivity, education, and social interactions. It provides examples of applications that track data from mobile devices, sensors, and other sources to generate insights. These applications aim to improve domains like health and wellness, personal productivity, education, and social relationships. Technologies like big data, cloud computing, open data, sensors, and data visualization play important roles in enabling self-tracking and quantified self applications. The document also presents several case studies as examples.

Let’s CHAT

The author suggests that the "Quantified Self"
movement is about self knowledge. What does
he want to know about himself?
Describe one of the applications described in the
article (audience, data sources, interface, use
scenarios, observations).
The article points out the fallacy of "magical
thinking". What does this mean and how does
this this apply to the Quantified Self?
The article concludes that the goal isn't to do
more work, but to do better work. What does
this mean to you?

• Using data for personal meaning
challenge our ideas about human
connection
• Social networks like Facebook and
Twitter transform our social
interactions into quantifiable data
streams
• Social Graph - interactions
between people in a social network
• Is it possible to track emotions,
passions and memories?
• Could QS help us live together in a
sustainable way?
Will our communities be looking after us,
taking care, encouraging us, as well as discipline us?

• Tennis is stats heavy : serve
percentages, forehand winners, aces,
unforced errors
• Give the amateur some way of
assessing his or her game
• Hitting the sweet spot 100 % of the
time doesn’t mean you’ll win
• Data is often misleading, but winning
is often about fractions.
• It does have the potential to change
the way we think about coaching

• Sleep is the third pillar of health (with
diet and exercise)
• Works on the basis of actigraphy, which
is the detection and analysis of muscular
movement

related to factors such as diet, stress,
and physical activity
• The physical and psychological
benefits have yet to be proven
