Personal Science describes a citizen science practice in which individuals use empirical methods to answer their own personal questions. Practitioners typically try to find insights into or solutions for personal issues, frequently related to their health or well-being. Examples of personal science include the management of a chronic condition, mental health but also weight-loss or productivity increases.
