- What
- is
- at
- stake
- socially,
- culturally,
- politically,
- and
- economically
- when
- we
- routinely
- use
- technology
- to
- gather
- information
- about
- our
- bodies
- and
- environments?Today
- anyone
- can
- purchase
- technology
- that
- can
- track,
- quantify,
- and
- measure
- the
- body
- and
- its
- environment.
- Wearable
- or
- portable
- sensors
- detect
- heart
- rates,
- glucose
- levels,
- steps
- taken,
- water
- quality,
- genomes,
- and
- microbiomes,
- and
- turn
- them
- into
- electronic
- data.
- Is
- this
- phenomenon
- empowering,
- or
- a
- new
- form
- of
- social
- control?
- Who
- volunteers
- to
- enumerate
- bodily
- experiences,
- and
- who
- is
- forced
- to
- do
- so?
- Who
- interprets
- the
- resulting
- data?
- How
- does
- all
- this
- affect
- the
- relationship
- between
- medical
- practice
- and
- self
- care,
- between
- scientific
- and
- lay
- knowledge?
- Quantified
- examines
- these
- and
- other
- issues
- that
- arise
- when
- biosensing
- technologies
- become
- part
- of
- everyday
- life.The
- book
- offers
- a
- range
- of
- perspectives,
- with
- views
- from
- the

- The

- consider
- data,
- personhood,
- and
- the
- urge
- to
- self-quantify;
- legal,
- commercial,
- and
- medical
- issues,
- including
- privacy,
- the
- outsourcing
- of
- medical
- advice,
- and
- self-tracking
- as
- a
- “paraclinical”
- practice;
- and
- technical
- concerns,
- including
- interoperability,
- sociotechnical
- calibration,
- alternative
- views
- of
- data,

- for
