The DFW Quantified Self Meetup is inspired by the Bay Area Quantified Self Meetup and the Quantified Self blog.
The group hosts two types of meetings:
- "QS Show and Tell" meetings are structured meetings designed for people to share their experiences in thinking about, collecting analyzing and using data related to themselves and their environments.
- "QS Chat" meetings are loosely structured discussions usually with a smaller group. Some sessions have a specific topic or theme while others may operate with a 'bring your own topic' format.
Anything is game -- from personal genetics to ways to digitize and track information, from how to self-diagnose to how to self-experiment with data and statistics. More specific topics include:
- self-experimentation
- using data and statistics to further self-experimentation
- behavior monitoring, tracking, and modification (including studying habit forming and breaking)
- lifelogging, lifecaching, and lifestreaming
- location tracking
- generating, capturing, and working with biometric data
- psychological self-assessments
- medical self-diagnostics and keeping track of one's own medical data
- personal genetics and genome sequencing
