This lifelogging issue caught my interest. Its ability to analyze data that if interpreted the right way may somehow improve life is so valuable especially in this chaotic time.

check out the gowearfit (one of bodymedia's products). i just got this armband based device that logs your calories, activity and, very interestingly, sleep. i've just started using it but i've heard its pretty accurate with telling you how many hours of sleep you got. that alone may be worth the price for many people even though its not the main feature.

EHRs (Electronic Health Records) in physician offices and hospitals, PHRs (Personal Health Records) and HIEs (Healthcare Information Exchanges) desperately need new software to “extract order and meaning from the chaos of proliferating data.”

This is especially important in order for physicians and patients to be able to efficiently view, analyze and share the results of thousands of diagnostic tests over patients' lifetimes.

Achieving this goal requires replacing variable test result reporting formats displaying only fragmented date with a standard format that displays only clinically integrated data.

Such a clinical technology solution, which is a vital component of the emerging era of interoperable healthcare information exchange in the United States, is currently being developed by a group of Rhode Island physicians.

It's value proposition and business case is described and illustrated at: http://diagnosticinformationsystem.com .

Great thoughts there Kelly. I totally agree that the self-discipline required to capture the data needs to be as simple as possible. Stopping myself from gorging food into my mouth is one thing, but having to meticulously count calories and type them into a device can be even more painstaking. Hopefully these methods to capture data will improve and I also think that this aspect of Lifestreaming will probably end up being the most beneficial for people.

I too was inspired by the Wired article 'Living by Numbers'. It was just the motivation I needed to act on a curiosity about self-tracking that had been bubbling in the back of my mind. I am a lifestreamer and the idea of data-tracking as described in the Wired article is simply romantic.

Upon delving deeper, however, I found that, contrary to a point made in the TechCrunch article, the main hurdle to participation is not privacy, but rather self-discipline. If we can agree that the people seeking out the benefits of self-tracking are likely already inclined to lifestreaming, we can probably also agree that most will have already come to terms with the privacy 'issues'. What is more difficult is actually making oneself do the tracking. Self-tracking, even though many tools are making it much easier, still requires self-discipline.

Said self-discipline then extends into other aspects of our lives, thus improving many facets of the way we live, not just the one we are tracking. This, again, proves the main benefit of lifestreaming- it improves your life. Just don't let Nike+ and Wii and Garmin fool you, you still have to work for it!
