A Human-Centered Conceptual Model for Personal Health Informatics Data
Edison Thomaz
Personal informatics is defined as the activity where people collect and reflect on personal data to gain a better understanding of their own behavior. This paper examines personal informatics in the context of health activities and suggests a new conceptual model for self- tracking data through the lens of human-centered theory. In light of this suggested model, the paper concludes with a discussion of forthcoming challenges we will likely face as personal health informatics permeates everyday life and the effect that will have on our socio-cultural values.
