Epidemiological studies are much easier to conduct with digital tools.<ref>https://www.jmir.org/2022/6/e35804</ref> If continuous self tracking data is taken from multiple people it becomes a longitudinal study. These are more reliable than single slice observational studies like the ones most often used by diet papers. Unfortunately, mobile health companies that aggregate data from users rarely do it with real scientific goals in mind. Instead you should contribute that data to researchers through [[Open Humans]].
