“…Self-tracking has been outlined as ‘the regular collection of any data that can be measured about the self, such as biological, physical, behavioural or environmental information’ (Swan, 2009: 509) since the ultimate aim is to translate anything that can be measured regarding human bodies and minds into data (Prince, 2014). Due to technological developments, the market for self-tracking tools and associated services has increased dramatically in the past few years, and is expected to grow even more in the future (BCC Research, 2017).…”

‘Made to run’: Biopolitical marketing and the making of the self-quantified runner

While previous critical marketing research on co-creation has focused on how consumers' cognitive and social abilities are governed, this paper focuses on how firms' marketing strategies attempt to govern every aspect of consumers' lives. By drawing on both a biopolitical framework and a study of Nike+, a marketing system for runners which Nike has developed around its self-tracking devices, three biopolitical marketing dimensions were identified; the gamification of the running experience, the transformation of running into a competitive activity, and the conversion of running into a social activity. In identifying these marketing dimensions, the study demonstrates how self-tracking affordances are 2 deployed in the development of a biopolitical marketing environment that tames captures and appropriates value from different aspects of consumers' lives, including -and combining -their social behaviours, cognitive capacities and bodily conducts. This paper contributes to critical studies of value co-creation by focusing on the tamed self-tracking body as a resource for value creation, but also by demonstrating that consumers engage, through cognitive labour, in the production of the biopolitical environment that leads to their exploitation.

“…By testing this question in a randomized, controlled trial that takes the novel step of considering each of three debated weight tracking frequencies (never, weekly, or daily) during weight loss, we will be moving beyond the current observational evidence toward meaningful larger-scale experimental data to provide evidence on the optimal frequency of weight tracking for an improved standard of care in weight loss programs. The relatively recent availability of Wi-Fi-enabled scales as a new technology to support reliable and valid collection of weight tracking data will add precision to data collection and participant monitoring in this project, and has the potential to enhance the weight loss experience for study participants by capitalizing on the trend toward a “quantified self” mentality for managing health behaviors [74,75]. …”

Observational evidence from behavioral weight control trials and community studies suggests that greater frequency of weighing oneself, or tracking weight, is associated with better weight outcomes. Conversely, it has also been suggested that frequent weight tracking may have a negative impact on mental health and outcomes during weight loss, but there are minimal experimental data that address this concern in the context of an active weight loss program. To achieve the long-term goal of strengthening behavioral weight loss programs, the purpose of this randomized controlled trial (the Tracking Study) is to test variations on frequency of self-weighing during a behavioral weight loss program, and to examine psychosocial and mental health correlates of weight tracking and weight loss outcomes. Three hundred thirty-nine overweight and obese adults were recruited and randomized to one of three variations on weight tracking frequency during a 12-month weight loss program with a 12-month follow-up: daily weight tracking, weekly weight tracking, or no weight tracking. The primary outcome is weight in kilograms at 24 months. The weight loss program integrates each weight tracking instruction with standard behavioral weight loss techniques (goal setting, self-monitoring, stimulus control, dietary and physical activity enhancements, lifestyle modifications); participants in weight tracking conditions were provided with wireless Internet technology (Wi-Fi-enabled digital scales and touchscreen personal devices) to facilitate weight tracking during the study. This paper describes the study design, intervention features, recruitment, and baseline characteristics of participants enrolled in the Tracking Study.

Teza/cel – Przedmiot artykułu stanowi koncepcja quantified self. Celem jest określenie jej potencjału dla projektowania usług bibliotecznych. Metoda – Zastosowano metodę analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwa. W oparciu o wyszukiwanie prowadzone w katalogu Biblioteki Narodowej i katalogu Worldcat, bazie abstraktowej LISTA, repozytorium ELIS oraz wybranych bazach wielodziedzinowych (np. Science Direct, Wiley Online Library) określono stan badań nad koncepcją quantified self. Pod uwagę wzięto wyłącznie prace opublikowane w języku polskim i angielskim w latach 2010-2018. Wyniki – Omówiono główne założenia koncepcji quantified self, jej związki z przetwarzaniem wielkich danych (ang. big data) oraz miniaturyzacją sprzętu elektronicznego i rozwojem wearable computing, a także związki z koncepcją Internetu Rzeczy (ang. Internet of Things). Określono możliwości wykorzystania założeń podejścia quantified self w projektowaniu usług bibliotecznych. Wnioski – Przeprowadzona analiza pokazuje duży potencjał koncepcji quantified self dla projektowania innowacyjnych usług bibliotecznych, a także dla procesów ich ewaluacji, doskonalenia i promocji.
