Description

Self-tracking: turning everyday experience into data. In the past, people kept track of their lives using simple tools like charts and calendars. Today, technology allows us to record and analyze vast amounts of data about our daily habits and activities. This book explores how people use these technologies to monitor and improve their health and wellbeing. Gina Neff and Dawn Nafus examine the social and cultural implications of self-tracking, looking at how it enables individuals to connect with others and learn from their experiences. They consider the benefits and risks of using data in this way, including who has access to our information and how it can be used to improve healthcare. By understanding the principles and challenges of self-tracking, we can make informed decisions about how to use these technologies to empower ourselves and improve our lives.
