Quantified Self is entering unchartered waters. Unchartered waters in privacy and freedom of information, as well as unchartered waters of knowledge about ourselves. How do we navigate biosensor information and pick which bits are important, and which one’s aren’t.

Unchartered Waters
Quantified Self, our value biases and where we go from here.
Wearables? (the pessimists view)
The Beginnings…
Where do we go from here?
Did they actually help you change?
What is the point?
So many little things to charge! WHY!
Do they really help? How OCD do you have to be to use these things?

+heart rate+connectivity+accelerometer
+weight+CO2+heart rate+connectivity+accelerometer+accelerometer
Why are “wearables” cool anyway?
Can’t you sense yourself? Don’t you know when you went for run, what more do you want? Get
movin’!
Can technology change us?

ADHD anybody?

• Optical sensor for heart rate
• Electropotential sensor for QRST waveform,
• Heart rate variability
• microphone
• Camera
• CO2 gas sensor
Where should we place our focus?
Wearables(the optimists view) – are tools for changing ourselves. Our bodies are high maintenance and
inconvenient. Let’s outsource as much as possible, so we can then choose
where to place our focus?
Wearable next steps. Simplifying the human as a black box.
INPUT OUTPUT
• Poo• Urine• Energy(exercise)• Breathing
• Food and Water
• Air(breathing)
DATA BIASES
Simpler functions that humans could automate further?
Exercise for vasculature maintenance – TENS stimulators
Bowel Movements, and tracking
Bladder Fullness and emptying.
Perfecting calorie intake, through constant blood monitoring.
Freeing us to do other things, and
reach greater heights?
Body as an Input/Output Black Box:
Not all wearables need to be sexy to give us information about our health.
Poo – Bristol Stool Scale
BabyPoo – The first imaging processing app to automate poo classification.
Another major area for wearables is the time when we are unconscious.

Incontinence
• 28 Million adults suffer from incontinence.
• All children have problem mastering their bladder that continue for varying amounts of time…
• Half of all people in retirement homes have this problem.
• Diapers are a 20 Billion dollar per year industry.
Let’s stop being a black box
Let’s forget about black boxes, and look inside non-invasively… mm wave radar
And further….Past: Complex, expensive,detailed, regulated, small scale, inaccessible
Shrink It!
Make It Accessible
Progress?

Higher resolution sensors that are hand held.
Complete transparency, big data advances in health and communications?
Our understanding of health improves, as do the feedback loops between us
The bandwidth in, through the eyes and ears is much bigger than speech out. It’d would be awesome to have a mind’s eye to express ideas to others faster and more clearly.
