Self tracking is used for different purposes by various movements. Other movements have similar characteristics to Personal Science. This section aims to mention them all.
Personal Science and Quantified Self track to maintain mental and physical health and improve productivity and performance.
Lifelogging tracks many things about a person to reminisce and evaluate decisions made in the past. Shares tools with QS.
Life extension goal also shares some tools and methods with QS though mostly focuses on formal medical studies.
Biohacker[1], Nootropic[2], encourage people to try more extreme experiments with less attention to data.
Athletes and coaches often use often use a specialized tool set from QS to increase Sports performance.
Self improvers do not aim to optimize health but do try to change their own Habits using techniques like gamification. Many authors recommend self tracking.[3] Self improvement techniques require self tracking tools.
Personalized[4] & Precision[5] medicine[6]. Idea that medical treatments should be tailored to individual based on the individual's characteristics, like genome. Like personalized science but doctors do the decision making.
Steps of self tracking
Is it worth doing?
Reasons for and against self tracking.
Get inspired by Category:People.
Or people on biohackstack.com.
What are your broad goals?
Ex. improve productivity.
Self tracking disambiguation.
How will you design the project?
Read Gary's new book with advice like '"overreach is tempting, especially when the topic of concern touches on unresolved controversies in health science" and "the most important tool in the personal science kit is not hardware or software but a written log of notes and reflections,".
What are you specific goals and how will you measure them?
Ex. improve focus. Measure by looking at number of distractions using ActivityWatch.
Here on the wiki you could try Category:Topics then Category:Tools.
Lists [7] of things that could possibly be tracked.
What exactly will the interventions be?
Ex. drink more tea.
sources for scientific studies : biomindmap
How will you get the data into one place?
Hopefully Open Humans will have an aggregator for each tool you use.
How will you visualize and analyze the data?
Visualize Start learning to analyze by reading Experiment VS Observational study.
