| Abstract: |
The health sector has been characterised by an emergency of new technology named quantified self. One of the key aspects of Quantified self is to have self-knowledge through numeral values. The unique self-features Quantified self opens the opportunities of tracking oneself. The trackers come in form of wristbands for non-stop heart rate quantification, smart phone health apps, and pedometers among others. These self-measurement gadgets have improved the adoption this movement of ‘The Quantified Self’. The prime focuses on in this advancement is to incorporating technology in form of wearables, sensors to improve awareness about self and the surrounding thereby improving human performance in digital health care industry. The increasing capacities of smartphone and wearable mobile trackers allow the users to monitor their day to day activities of people by providing automatic self-monitoring facilities. This research paper investigates the Self-Quantification happening through the encounters of the Quantified-Self users, how it has impacted their lives and some ethical complications of this tool. |
