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.
