State and symptom surveying is about user answering and filling out values for amount something has happened in the recent passed dime block and current moment. For example tracking things like [[mood]] now and back pain over the past 5 hours. This type of tool can be used to track almost anything but is vulnerable to [[Issues with Self Report]]. Self questionnaire is a type of [[Manual input]].

* [[MySymptoms|Mysymptoms]] Easy and quick to fill out but sampling is when user remembers to do it.

The whole act of manually trying to quantify experience. Not self report because you are not reporting to anyone but yourself and so other people's opinions do not matter.

User can do the assessment right after an incident or as an aggregate of a recently passed time period. Most things user would want to measure do not occur as easily defined and measured incidents so aggregation will need to be used. Unfortunately, having to remember a state over many hours requires effort and creates ambiguity. In addition, the method of aggregation (mean, mode, extremes) loses information, take a bit of effort, and can be a cause of drift. By information loss I mean that if a weighed mean is used to represent a time series the distribution is lost. For example, pain that spikes to high values for a few minutes every hour can have the same number as just pain that stays the same throughout the time period.
