Abstract

Quantified self-experimentation with personal health is a growing activity among health enthusiasts, biohackers, and patients with chronic conditions. By collecting and sharing their health data through self-tracking devices and health networking services, self-experimenters engage in a unique form of n=1 citizen science-style research. This data sharing altruism is constrained by limited data security, validity, and socioeconomic access. We will explore these issues as design challenges. The workshop invites various stakeholders (private, corporate, non-profit, academic) to engage in a discussion and a performative prototyping of a design framework for transparent and just health self-experimentation.
