Our data-rich and data-driven future is an inevitability… we will live longer, healthier and more

enriched lives because we have the personal data about ourselves


Lifelogging will create a whole new set ofopportunities & challenges forindustry and society… but

This is private data

Issues around privacy expectations are not understood

Data security is vital to get right

Who can access the data (now and post-life)?

What is The Quantified Self?

The Quantified Self is about incorporating self-trackingtechnologies to monitor our activities.


What’s in it for you?

It’s all about understanding yourself and your lifestyle via stats and numbers.


What’s in it for others?

It’s all about understanding the customer and their lifestyle via stats and numbers.

Health Insurance companies are interested

NHS are interested and providing devices


Why does it work?

Data supports us to reflect on our activities and behaviors.


Why is it getting popular?

Wearables, cheap sensors and mobile applications are getting affordable and easy to use.

Where are we willing to go …

• Privacy vs. ConvenienceØ So what is our Privacy worth to us?

LossofPrivacyInspiredbyChrisDancy


Points of attention

• Can we learn from our mistakes?

• Focus on « End of the Food Chain » analytics without installing a « privacy and security » by design in place early on

• Legal Compliance is the Floor, not the Ceiling. How can we think ethically?

• Build Trust: Data + Transparency = Trust


Looking onwards and Upwards

• Take Charge• Time to reflect and renegociate the bargins with OUR data• Be proactive with new technology• Think of our future infrastructures & the values it should

embody• Balance the value of our data to society vs personal nature• Privacy comprimise vs. Convenience• Awareness of extending surveillance and its impact on society• Stay Alert
