Abstract

Technological advances in wearable computing are changing the sports domain. A variety of Personal Informatics (PI) tools are starting to provide support and improve athletes’ performance in many sports. In this article, we interviewed 20 amateur and elite athletes of different disciplines, using an array of PI devices, to explore how sports, as well as athletes’ experience, are affected by such instruments. We discovered that amateur athletes present different patterns of usage compared to elite ones. Moreover, we found that elite athletes make sense of their data by exploiting the knowledge they have about their own body and sports practice. We then proposed four considerations for design that we believe should be explored in the future, to reflect on how self-tracking is changing our perspective on sports, and, by and large, on our everyday life.

Gamification for Self-Tracking: From World of Warcraft to the Design of Personal Informatics Systems
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

World of Warcraft (WoW) may be a source of inspiration to enrich the Personal Informatics systems user's experience and, at the same time, improve gamification design. Through the findings of a four-year reflexive ethnography in WoW, I outline how its ...
Looking for the unusual: how older adults utilize self-tracking techniques for health management
PervasiveHealth '16: Proceedings of the 10th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare

Self-tracking applications for health management have become popular both in industry and in academia. Half of older adults in the U.S. track health indicators, but they rarely use technology for that purpose. We conduct a qualitative study to ...
An Article a Day: Towards Personal Informatics for Healthy News Consumption
CHI EA '24: Extended Abstracts of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Technological logs can enable us to self-reflect on our habits through data. Avid news consumers, who read many articles and take an interest in news media, may have a pronounced interest in tracking their news habits. From a lens of personal informatics,...
