Today I’m off to Amsterdam for the weekend to spend time & learn more about the Quantified Self. Something I have been very interested in since discovering John Walkers original Hackers diet<\/a> & Eatwatch <\/a>programme on my old Treo600. This, coupled with the fact I had an eye problem which\u00a0necessitated\u00a0many visits to Addenbrookes \u00a0Hospital to ascertain if it was genetic or glaucoma, made me realize how important good\u00a0longitudinal studies<\/a> are.<\/p>\n

The apps and things I currently measure are:<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot_09_05_2013_19_53-3\"<\/a>Daily Body Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using Fatwatch (iPhone rough equivalent of Eatwatch) and Withings scales. I now have 1950 readings from the past 8 years from the chart you can see a highly skewed distribution of weights. \u00a0One side affect of this is that I now know I have spent 1109 nights away from home in the past 8 and a bit years \ud83d\ude42 Since I only weigh myself at home!<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot_09_05_2013_23_38\"<\/a>Sleep<\/h2>\n

I tried Zeo & SleepCycle but didn’t get on with them. I now use the Fitbit and Snorelab. Fitbit has an API which enables me to draw nice charts from all the data it collects. The shows shows a normal distribution centred around \u00a0440 and 460 mins (about 7 1\/2 hours) of sleep in the past 416 days.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4227\"<\/a>Snorelab has no API \ud83d\ude41 so hard to do nice graphs over many weeks, although I might enter all the data into a spreadsheet by hand. Obviously you can do screen shots like the example shown. All it has proved is that I snore a lot! mainly when I first go to sleep.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Exercise<\/h2>\n

\"Screenshot_10_05_2013_08_51\"<\/a>I am a keen walker as you can tell by reading this<\/a>, and looking at my step counts on the chart.<\/p>\n

I did a post on the different ways I measure steps etc here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Etc<\/h2>\n

Other things I have measured are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • DNA through <\/span>23&me,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Moves,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Daily Mugshot,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Blood pressure using Withings,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Quicken for home finance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    and probably a few more after the weekend!<\/p>\n
