Een stap niet gemeten is een stap niet genomen. Het horloge om je pols en de telefoon in je broekzak houden continu bij of je wel voldoende beweegt, goed slaapt of misschien niet te gestrest bent. Maar wat doen we met al die gegevens? Leren we onze lichamelijke gezondheid daadwerkelijk beter kennen, of worden we er misschien juist ongezonder van? In deze aflevering bespreekt verslaggever Stijn Goossens zijn zoektocht naar een antwoord op de vraag waarom we ons lichaam zo nodig moeten meten. En wat kunnen we dan allemaal met al die data? In gesprek met presentator Lara Billie Rense bespreekt Stijn de rol van intieme technologie, hoe sommige mensen zichzelf extreem uitgebreid meten en of de metingen van zo'n wearable wel te vertrouwen is.

Seit die ersten Pulsuhren den Massenmarkt eroberten hat sich technologisch viel getan. Heute können Smartwatches und Activity Tracker deutlich mehr leisten als Schritte zu zählen und die Herzfrequenz anzugeben. Doch was machen Nutzende mit diesen Technologien und was machen diese technologischen Möglichkeiten mit den Nutzenden? In dieser Basics-Folge gehen wir diesen und weiteren Fragen in einer grundsätzlichen Weise nach und betrachten dabei eine Auswahl an interessanten Parametern, die heute auch mit einfachen Geräte gemessen oder ermittelt werden können. Dabei erörtern wir auch die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Änderungen des Gesundheitsverhalten und die Rolle dieser Technologien für die gesundheitsfördernde Gestaltung.   ---------- Relevante Links und weiterführende Informationen hierzu sind:   Fogg, B.

MOVIMENTO ‘' QUANTIFIED SELF'' : Quantified Self é Autoconhecimento por meio do auto-rastreamento. Mas é um tema que não é algo novo. O próprio Benjamin Franklin é famoso por rastrear 13 virtudes pessoais em um diário para se esforçar em direção à perfeição moral. Ele compartilhou este insight em sua autobiografia quando diz: “Fiquei surpreso por me encontrar muito mais cheio de defeitos do que imaginava, mas tive a satisfação de vê-los diminuir”. A única diferença com a época de Benjamin Franklin hoje é a tecnologia. Os avanços não só tornaram a coleta de dados mais barata e mais conveniente, mas também nos permitem quantificar dados biométricos que nunca sabíamos que existiam. Hoje se você quiser saber seus níveis de insulina ou cortisol, ou sequenciar seu DNA, ou aprender quais células microbianas habitam seu corpo? Você pode ”quantificar” quase tudo agora. Os auto-rastreadores estão ultrapassando os limites da saúde pessoal. Usando uma abordagem científica, eles estão lançando luz em um desconhecido escuro. À medida que descobrem percepções ocultas, são os empreendedores que trazem suas descobertas – e suas ferramentas – às massas. À medida que os auto-rastreadores estão empurrando o movimento para frente, os empresários estão ajudando-o a crescer e criando oportunidades. Um grande percado se abre em função do ”quantified-self” VOCÊ É NADA MAIS QUE UM PADRÃO MATEMATICO ESSES PADRÕES SÃO TÃO COMPLEXOS QUE A MENTE HUMANA NÃO CONSEGUE COMPREENDÊ-LOS AUTOCONHECIMENTOS POR MEIO DE NÚMEROS : CRIADORES GARY WOLF E KEVIN KELLEY ( Editores da revista Wired) Não somos imparaveis, somos pereciveis EPIGENÉTICA É UM CAMPO DE PESQUISA QUE INVESTIDA COMO OS ESTÍMULO AMBIENTAIS PODEM ATIVAR DETERMINADOS GENES E SILENCIAR OUTROS. ELA PERMITE ENTENDER COMO A EXPERIÊNCIA É CAPAZ DE OPERAR TRANSFORMAÇÕES PROFUNDAS NO ORGANISMO, MESMO QUE ISSO SIGNIFIQUE DESTACAR O DNA E NÃO IMPLIQUE EM MUDAR O GENOMA. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/t1agopereiras/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/t1agopereiras/support

Steeds meer technologieën kunnen ons steeds meer vertellen over onze fysieke gesteldheid. Met de Apple Watch bijvoorbeeld meet je onder andere je hartslag, zuurstofsaturatie of temperatuur. Marcel Möring vraagt zich in een column voor De Groene Amsterdammer af of dat wel zo'n goede ontwikkeling is. Stel dat verzekeraars van ons gaan eisen gezondheidsdata met ze te delen. En wat nu als je hypochonder bent? Toch, je wilt toch weten hoe het met je fitheid staat? En je wilt toch tijdig defecten signaleren om meer kans op genezing te hebben als blijkt dat je een ziekte onder de leden hebt. Bottom line: technologie zadelt ons weer eens op met moeilijke keuzen: wil ik het weten of niet?

This episode is an absolute must for ALL people interested in learning how to change their life. At age 25, Ben Ahrens, a semi-professional surfer and fitness trainer, became bedridden for over 3 years with Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease. Despite his best efforts and conventional medical treatment, Ben found himself truly stuck – unable to improve. Then he came across neuroplasticity. Through the power for neuroplasticity, Ben healed himself from Lyme, CFS, and Hypersensitivity disorder. He joins forces with Innovative Medicine, earning advanced certifications in biological medicine & becoming an AADP Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner in the state of New York. Together, they work on untangling some of the world's most complex chronic conditions. Having made a full recovery, Ben started helping others do the same. He shares what he's learned at such venues as: Quantified Self, Habit Design, TEDx, Esalen Institute, The Biohacking Conference, and the US Army (Fort Bragg, NC). Collaborating with and learning from the best in their fields, a synergy arises with the aim of helping others reclaim their health by rewiring their brain. Ben, Dr. Ken Gorfinkle, Dr. Kelly Kent then formed The re-origin Brain Trust™ to distill their combined decades of research and experience into a science-based neuroplasticity program that now helps hundreds of re-origin's members reclaim their health and lives. With this neuroplasticity training, Ben's 100% healing is now possible for others experiencing chronic illness.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John was AFK while we we recording because we recorded at a weird time. We're back! As we said a few weeks ago, all three of us were going to be traveling all over the place during the month of September so it was not going to be possible to record. Victor is technically in London right now with a MacGyver recording setup but he sounds OK. Moving on. We have a bit of follow-up on the Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar that Nicholas bought a month and a bit ago. Does he still like it? DOES HE NOW HATE IT? Listen to find out! If you're intrigued by all this "quantified self" or "sleep tracking" stuff this is the segment for you. Victor, after discussing his experience with a pair of Atoms shoes during his trip, has real watch news as well, including some stuff from Ollech & Wajs and Armand Nicolet. That's about it for this week. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening, and have a great week!

Apps, smartphones og wearables kan hjælpe dig med at holde styr på dit liv - og herunder også din krop og dit helbred, men hvad gør det ved dig, hvis du hele tiden måler og tracker - i et forsøg på at optimere dig selv? En del af den her tankegang kan spores til Silicon Valley i USA og bevægelsen Quantified Self, hvis tilhængere har fokus på at få adgang til - og lære af - sin egen krops data. Men hvad med i Danmark? Hvem er selv-trackerne herhjemme? Og hvad får de reelt set ud af at måle på sig selv?

Most meditations either focus on the “now” with contentment and presence, or the future, with visualization. This meditation does both and is the one I use most often in my own meditation practice, plus it has some rad science that shows how it increases creativity on a brain wave level! This meditation is a riff on Vishen Lakhiani's 6 phase meditation. I first learned about this from his book the code of the extraordinary mind, which I highly recommend, it's such a good read.

Podcast of Dr Justin Tonra's paper as part of 'Bodies of Data: Intersecting Medical and Digital Humanities'.

In Episode 51 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Well Being, I jump back into the world of quantified self and self improvement with our good friend, Benjamin Richardson. Ben has been featured on the show, not only once, but twice before in Episodes 31 and 35 and has brought a wealth of knowledge as a self proclaimed, practical citizen scientist, seeking to use emerging technologies and our understanding of the human body to improve his health, and through that exploration, make it easier for others to do the same.   In this episode we get our feet wet with a methodical discussion of quantified self, as Ben offers his 5-step approach to identifying and addressing self challenges. From this framework, Ben delves more deeply into each of the essential steps, from choosing a quantifiable goal, to selecting an intervention and measurement technique to actually assessing your progress and adapting based on your results, Ben gives us incredible insights into the practical things one must consider when attempting to make or quantify positive change.   From here we begin our dive into Ben's real life application of this framework as part of his attempt to improve his movement patterns and variety with a concept known as “exercise snacking.”   After providing a brief definition of this pattern of “exercising,” Ben takes us through each step of the quantified self process, beginning with his primary goals of improving blood and biometric markers to his creative implementation of various exercises in the workplace.   We end the show with an in depth discussion of functional blood chemistry, and a second personal experiment and exploration that occurred as a result of Ben's first intervention.  Applying our previously identified quantified self framework, Ben takes us through an exploration of his approach to address and further understand the roots behind low testosterone. Starting from a set of plausible hypothesis, Ben outlines a second multifaceted intervention to address this new identified concern and describes how he partnered with a holistic practitioner to obtain complementary testing to support and guide his personal self experiment.   This was as always, an absolute blast, and whether you are a citizen scientist, or clinician, you will gain some tremendous insights into cost effective and simply more effective ways to guide and support positive behavior change. While this may have been my third conversation with Ben, I found myself throughout the podcast continuing to uncover pieces of Ben's story and passion I had yet to fully see. Driven by the details, but fulfilled by the bigger picture, Ben's willingness to experiment, to explore and to let others in on his vulnerable journey is rather remarkable, and in truth, beyond rational explanation. While most seek to showcase a filtered version of their perfected lives, Ben has never been afraid to offer his authentic self, genuinely encouraging people through purposeful intent to see how they too can find more fulfillment, better health, and above all, greater meaning in their lives.   Listen to our previous conversation here: https://www.amedicinalmind.com/podcast-wisdom-and-well-being     Disclaimer: The content at A Medicinal Mind and the content of our podcast are educational and informational in nature.

In Episode 022 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing, I have an exploratory conversation with pioneering researcher, behavioral scientist, and sleep guru: Dan Pardi. While many of you listening to this may know Dan from his passion for studying and improving your sleep, utilizing an ancestral framework through the study of hunter gatherer movement and sleep patterns, perhaps you are unaware of his background in a wellness world that extends far beyond the bedsheets.   Dan is the CEO of humanOS.me, an investigator initiated sponsored research association which leverages a novel behavior model to promote health fluency, skill development, and lifestyle insights to help people master their health practice. He does research with the Zeitzer Lab in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department at Stanford, and in the Departments of Neurology and Endocrinology at Leiden University in the Netherlands where he investigates how lifestyle factors, like sleep, influence decision making, cognitive performance, and metabolism. Dan also works with Naval Special Warfare to help the most elite fighters in the world maintain alertness and capable mental performance under challenging circumstances. I could go on about Dan's accolades and impressive resume, but the truth is, Dan's passions do not actually rest in the pocket of your jacket or on the shiny screen of your new electronic device. Dan's life's work is deeply and profoundly rooted in his passion for discovering how exactly to help people live healthfully.   In this podcast, as I alluded to in the beginning of the introduction, we shake things up from the standard story of sleep to uncover a little bit more behind the man just trying to get you a little bit healthier.   We explore Dan's background and amazing journey through research institutions and pharmaceutical tech to arrive at his current work in the world of practically applied self tracking, or quantified self.   We start to ask and answer some of the big questions when it comes to applying health tracking devices or quantified self in the clinical context   What is Quantified Self or Biohacking anyway?   What currently are the most common techniques for supporting positive behaviour change?   Does it come from Doctors? Health Coaches? Digital Social Support Groups? iPhone Apps?   We then dig into Dan's newest endeavour the previously mentioned innovative program humanos.me   What is it exactly?   What is its intention? Mission going forward?   What measures are you tracking with this program and how?   And of course, does it actually help?   We then enter a discussion covering some of the pressing topics facing the functional and ancestral health movements as a whole.   Why do functional medicine clinicians need technologies such as humanos to track and deliver health education.   How can we practically tomorrow implement and start using some of this technology?   How many measures are too much? And are there actually any downsides to tracking biometrics?   Will we lose intuition, and simply become tech robots even more reliant on our digital devices to survive?   Dan ends the conversation speculating about the future of health tracking technology, genetics, and the personalized medicine movement as a whole   If you have listened to Dan speak before, and I most certainly have followed his fascinating work, I really think you will find this interview practical, genuine and creatively optimistic.   I was so excited and grateful to have met Dan this past September at the 2017 AHS and cannot wait to continue growing our friendship, bringing the world more insightful discussions and of course nourishing health education and technology.   A big thank you to Dan for taking time to share this conversation with me and through me with you!   So without further adieu, let's dig into the show!   Keep up with Dan via his social media using the links below!

It's the end of the beginning — not the beginning of the end — for wearables, argue the guests in this episode of the a16z Podcast. Especially as we move from the first, to the next, generation of wearable devices: not just activity trackers and watches but VR/AR gear, “hearables”, continuous glucose monitors, and more. The quantified self movement then takes these empirical tracking- and data-gathering tools to better reason about what works and doesn't work in our bodies to help us solve problems and live better lives. Yet the act of gathering data isn't the hard part… it's linking them to insights and outcomes. Because we really do have very little data about what works at a collective let alone an individual level. With a new age of biohacking upon us — where people can apply engineering principles to manipulate what we take into our bodies (inputs) to tune how we perform (outputs) — can we finally embrace these tools? What will it take to make something that's mainly a niche activity/community (quantified self was formally started a decade ago!) into something more mainstream for all? (Hint: it involves cookie recipes.) And finally, what are the societal implications of all this, from avoiding data dystopias to embracing the consumerization of government projects too? Joining us to explore these questions and more (in conversation with Sonal Chokshi), we have: neuroscientist and data scientist Rachel Kalmar, currently a fellow at The Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University; co-founder of The Quantified Self blog and community Gary Wolf; and Geoffrey Woo, co-founder and CEO at Nootrobox (an a16z company).

One of the fastest-growing sectors of the tech industry involves turning all of the little details about our health into quantifiable data points. Millions of users have strapped heart-rate monitoring pieces of plastic to their wrists, scanned in the calories from their frozen dinner, and squinted at charts representing everything from the quality of a night's sleep to the regularity of their menstrual cycle. And, according to a recent editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association, almost as many have stopped wearing them within the first six months. To the many, many people who have tried these tools – not to mention the people who want to sell them – this raises a big, open, lucrative question: What role should health trackers actually play in our lives? On this week's episode, you'll hear from Natasha Dow Schull, author of a forthcoming book called "Keeping Track," and technology writer/early self-tracker and writer Paul Ford. Schull's research has involved spending quite a bit of time in the aisles of Best Buy, listening in on the hopeful, aspirational purchases. However – as new research begins to bear out – respondents in the long run tend to fall in two camps: people who get turned off by the idea of self-tracking and need to be convinced of its value, or those who like the idea but want better technology. In both cases, the stalwarts of this billion-dollar industry are listening very, very closely to figure out what consumers really want from this trend. (Note to Self) We're curious too, though for different reasons. We've spent the last few months asking a whole lot of people to speak to their experiences of quantifying themselves using technology. We wanted the story you can't tell from the big tech conferences or even hanging out in the aisles of Best Buy. So we asked our audience to weigh in (figuratively, of course) on what makes for "useful" health technology – what different sorts of health hacking have really done to their health. The responses have been fascinating, inspiring, and heartbreaking – and we have a feeling it will be pretty insightful for the industry and everyone who studies it. Here are some of the major themes from the more than 100 voice memos, emails, and messages you've sent: Don't see an important point in here? Tell us on Facebook or Twitter! SEEING IT MAKES IT REAL  When they're tracking in the right direction, hard numbers and charts can feel like getting a good grade. For the good students out there, getting "keeping up the grades" is genuinely motivational for at least a little while. "Starting a little over a year ago, I purchased a Microsoft band because it had more sensors than anything else on the market... It tracks my sleep, it tracks my steps, it tracks my galvantic skin response, it tracks my UV exposure, it tracks pretty much everything except my calories, which I happily do through another app. I got a WiFi connected scale. All of this data together has surprisingly benefited me, and I've lost 20 pounds in the last year. Part of this has been through concerted efforts, but part of it is just being more aware of how active I am and all of these devices motivate me, really truly motivate me, to get up and walk, to make sure I get my 10K steps a day, to improve my lifestyle, to make a slightly better choice for dinner." – Christina in Virginia TELL ME A STORY Many of the people who love their trackers told us they try to combine data sets into a story about what they have been doing and how far they have come. This narrative gives them a sense of what should come next in their lives, prompting decisions that bear out the healthy arc. "I don't know if it's just the historian in me or what, but I love my data. From the morning to night I have a mood journal where I can track how I feel, what medications I've taken, how long I've slept... I track my food and points through Weight Watchers. There's an app for everything, even for fun things, like Untapped to keep track of how many craft beers I've had." – Alison from Charlotte  I NEVER THOUGHT I CARED ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK, BUT... Not everyone wants a social experience, but some people who thought they'd hate giving friends a glimpse into their pedometers found themselves competing to great, surprising, motivational effect. "I never thought I'd be the person walking around my kitchen island or doing laps in my bedroom because my friend Brittany is 2,000 steps ahead of me at 11 o'clock at night, but it has happened on more than one occasion." – Jennifer Bertrand from Texas HELP ME MOTIVATE MYSELF!  For the non-fitness inclined, the most useful tech puts the promise of what, exactly, they're hoping to achieve front and center. Most of the products on the market dive harder into stats they don't already care about. "I'm slightly round, and I never wanna be a human stick insect. But my joints... not so much, they're not so happy with the situation. I feel like I've got to do something about it.... I'm like in buoyancy training… if I'm on a boat in the North Sea and it sinks, I have a competitive advantage for, like, 3 minutes because it's gonna take me longer to sink. I gotta watch my husband go down, I gotta watch the people I was just having drinks with on the Lido deck get circled by whatever's in the water… plucking them like grapes out of a fruit bowl... those three minutes are not gonna be high value ones. [But] I've come to this conclusion that I don't lose weight [and] I don't make better decisions because I guess I just don't want to... So I would really appreciate it if you could identify some sort of technology that would make me make better decisions... Both for exercise and for food intake. So if you could just wave your magic wand and make that happen that would be awesome." – Jennifer in Massachusetts  ONE STEP ON MY PEDOMETER, TWO STEPS TOWARD COMPULSIVE We heard from dozens of users who called themselves "addicted beyond the point of health," who said having so much information about their bodies at their disposal made them hyper-fixate on small changes. "As somebody recovering from an eating disorder it completely feeds into the obsessive habits and so there almost should be a warning sign that this can lead to triggering behaviors." – Lauren in Minneapolis TRY TO MATCH THE MESSAGE TO MY MOOD Quite a few people said blanket "notifications" work once they're already feeling inspired, but deepen guilt or frustrations when they come at a bad time.  "My fitness tracker vibrates to tell me I haven't moved in a long time... I don't even feel it any more. But I did notice something the other day that seems to help….always says the same thing but one day the app sent a notification at the random time during the day and it said 'we've noticed our reminders aren't helping you...so we will stop them soon...no don't stop them...I felt so guilty for letting the My Fitness people down... One app that I do use is the Headspace and I use it to establish a meditation habit. The app will send me a different mindfulness message a couple times a day and I do always pause to read and reflect on those and, I think it's because there's a variety of messages and that's what helps." IF ONLY I DIDN'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY WEAR IT A number of people said they were embarrassed to be seen with the visible, not-all-that-glamourous-looking pieces of plastic on their wrists – a complaint all too familiar to "wearable" designers who hoped the Apple Watch would come along and answer that design question once and for all.  "Three years into [using] all of these trackers, I read the book 'The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up' by Marie Kondo. This book asks you to think about one specific question when you're deciding to keep an item... “does this spark joy?” ... One day while putting on my FitBit, I thought ‘does this spark joy?' and the answer was ‘no'. ... It's not even a beautiful item that I'm putting on my body. I might as well wear a toaster on my arm.. So fast forward 6 months and I have no ugly device or screen on my wrist. I've got no lights, no buzzes, no numbers and then yesterday at the doctors, my doctor told me that my blood pressure was the lowest it's ever been, my favorite jeans fit and I'm happier." – Allie Pilmer from Alameda Subscribe to Note to Self on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, I Heart Radio, Pocket Casts or anywhere else using our RSS feed.

This week's podcast is about the rising movement for quantifying our lives beyond just health and body. The Quantified Self  is about self-knowledge through self-tracking and extends our awareness about what's happening in our lives, how we're spending our time, and pretty much anything related to our daily living. In 2007 Ernesto Ramirez joined with Wired Magazine's Kevin Kelly and Gary Wolf to create this organization, made up predominantly of individuals with a passion for managing their lives. The society has grown from its San Francisco roots to about 90 groups meeting regularly worldwide. Many of the devices we ...

The modern, average 12-year-old Madden NFL videogame player has actually visualized more plays than ‪any past real-life NFL Hall-of-Famer. And now, for the first time, we're seeing those videogame tactics show up on the field too. There's a "technological and analytical arms race" going on in sports, and it's producing the world's best athletes in history. How are they working smarter, using science and technology to enhance the way they train and perform, when it's not enough to put in 10,000 hours? How should athletes sleep?
