Abstract

Long term self tracking of health for periods of years, decades or ultimately lifelong provides tremendous opportunities for personal health. However, people face barriers that many find insurmountable for making use of self tracking. It has become clear that considerable work is needed to turn tracking from a toy to a tool. We suggest three research themes: The user's double role in long-term self-tracking as a consumer of information and as a producer of data, as they try to make sense of long term data, and the needs, challenges and opportunities arising for creating new applications. As a cross-topic issue, we address challenges for HCI research on long term tracking.
