Trend Briefing: THE QUANTIFIED SELF & WEARABLES

July 2014

Make It Wearable | Episode 2: Human Health

QuanFfied Self (aka Self-‐tracking)

•  An advanced way of using technological tools to collect data about a person's life with a goal of self improvement. Data is collected on inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical)
