In the third episode of Personal Science Conversations, Sara Riggare, Gary Wolf, Thomas Blomseth Christiansen and Steven Jonas discuss how the personal science intersects with the patient experience. Drawing heavily on Sara’s experience as a person with Parkinson’s in the Swedish healthcare system, we look at how individuals can use their personal observations to inform…
Quantified Self · 002 – Personal Science Conversations – The Worried Well In this second episode of Personal Science Conversations, Gary Wolf, Thomas Blomseth Christiansen and Steven Jonas discuss the concept of the worried well: What is the origin of the term, how do medical professionals define it, and why does it get applied to…
At Quantified Self, we focus on the stories and projects of people in the community: their methods, discoveries, and even the tools that they build. Outside of the Show&Tell talks at our events, though, are constant conversations about everything having to do with personal science. Behind the scenes of this website we have weekly decisions…
Azure Grant introduces the QS Blood Testers project, showing data that suggests a single point measure may be inadequate for understanding cardiovascular risk. Every participant crossed a CVD risk category by time of day in at least one lipid output, and 80% of participants crossed a risk category based on time of day when only fasting measurements were considered.
Footage of the highlights from Quantified Self Symposium 2018, where we invited self-trackers, toolmakers, activists, clinicians, scholars, and scientists to explore the impact of everyday science on cardiovascular health.
Quantified Self announces a collaborative project for self-testing blood lipids: “Blood Testers.” The project’s long-term goal is to advance progress in self-directed research by better understanding what makes these types of projects succeed or fail. By working with a diverse group of participants, QS hopes a create an example of discovery that is informed by ‘expert’ individuals, highly participatory, and open access.
