Wearable Health, Fitness Trackers, and the Quantified Self
Aug 22, 2014
The vision and reality of individualised health and wellness achieved through tracking personal data. An introduction to the scope of the problems followed by the advent of the Quantified Self. Then a pictorial view of trackers, gadgets, #ehealth, and #mHealth devices. This leads the audience to a clear understanding of how we can digitise behaviour and biology to achieve wellness and prevent disease in the 1st place. Overall, there is an underlying influence of the impact of exponential technologies in numerous fields with an increasing force in healthcare.

Data
Data is routinely collected to fine tune performance.
Tracking69% of adults track a health indicator
for themselves or others.
34% of individuals who track use non-tech methods such as journals.
21% of people who track use at least one form of tech such as apps or devices.

Tracking46% say this activity has changed their
overall approach to maintaining their health or another persons health
40% of trackers say it has led them to ask a doctor new questions or to get a 2nd opinion.
34% say it has affected a decision about how to treat an illness or condition.

People with chronic conditions are more likely to track.

QS Personalizes
By collecting your own personal information you know it is appropriate to you as an individual.
QS is Peer-to-Peer
People turn to friends & family for support and advice when they have a health problem.
Peer-to-Peer is the Future

Digitalization of Biology and Medicine Transforms Healthcare
This is a revolution that will transform medicine even more than digitalization transformed information technologies and communications.
Digitizing of medicine will lead to dramatically lower healthcare costs and better outcomes.
Digital medicine is nearly here. It is starting now.
Is there an app for that?
