Joris Klerkx gave a presentation on the Quantified Self movement. The Quantified Self involves self-tracking of metrics like health, sleep, productivity, and more using technologies like fitness trackers and apps. Klerkx's research focuses on how data from self-tracking can be captured, made sense of, and evaluated for usefulness. Some of his past student projects include tracking lucid dreams, measuring brainwaves, and using location data and badges for motivation. Key research questions for Quantified Self include how to capture relevant actions, what can and should be tracked, how to understand and interpret the data, and how to assess the value of self-tracking tools and data.
