Excerpt

Smartphones and their health applications (apps) are an integral part of our daily lives, silently tracking our bodily functions and behaviors and changing the ways we perceive ourselves and our environments (Platt et al. 2016). If used correctly, mobile self-tracking technology can help prevent disease without much burden to healthcare systems that operate under resource and human power constraints (Mehl et al. 2014). Despite remaining challenges, like ensuring data quality and privacy, we expect self-tracking data to be increasingly integrated into electronic medical records and used to personalize and improve prevention (Buchwald et al. 2017; Vydra et al. 2015). …
