LogMySelf - Opportunities, risks and future of lifelogging and self-measurement in discourse with young people
The project aimed to introduce young people to the opportunities and risks of this global trend.
Measuring, logging and publishing personal health data yourself: This widespread phenomenon has been summarised under the term "lifelogging". The "LogMySelf" discourse project introduced 16 to 26-year-olds to the opportunities and risks of self-measurement in order to teach them skills in dealing with lifelogging. Not only data such as pulse rate or jogging distance was measured, but increasingly also emotional states such as happiness or sadness.
First, two pilot seminars were developed in the project. Subsequently, a toolbox with multimedia content was made available for school and out-of-school educational settings. At the same time, a representative survey among adolescents and young adults was planned to find out more information about lifelogging in this age group. A competition made young people's views on lifelogging better known.
