Quantified Self
PhUSE 2014 – London

The quantified self is a movement first named in 2006: “A collaboration of users and tool makers who share an interest in self knowledge through self-tracking." Extensive network of people collecting and sharing their data to get a better understanding of their disease.
This is the quantified self!

What does a ‘self-quantifier’ capture? Any data that can be gathered and is aggregated together and can be linked to diary data The best way to get value is to look at the data longitudinally à context matters! Some data needs to be processed to give usable measures: • Steps per day • Average Blood Pressure • Maximum Heart Rate
PhUSE 2014 – London
• Food consumed
• Steps taken
• Blood Pressure
• Pulse
• Mental State
• Sleep
• Exercise
• …. many more metrics

Mobile Health (mHealth)
PhUSE 2014 – London
© 2014 Medidata Solutions, Inc.
Defined as “practice of medicine and public health supported by mobile devices”. Becoming more ubiquitous with increasing coverage of mobile technologies. Popular in areas where geographic location does not suit traditional approaches to medical oversight
mHealth applications • Education/Awareness • Helpline • Diagnostic/Treatment support • Communication/Training • Disease/Epidemic outbreak • Remote monitoring • Remote data collection
