Meetup #9 - Understanding QS devices

Quantified Self Zurich is back!

Meeting schedule:

18:30 - Meet and greet
Doors will be open for you to come and discuss QS interests.

19:00 - Accuracy and effect of self-tracking (Hannah Dykast)
This summer ETH organized a summer school called "Future Health". Some objectives were:

1. Understanding the effect of self-tracking practices.
2. Measuring accuracy of different QS devices. Readings from a variety of devices were compared with explicitly measured data.

One of the school participants, Hannah, wants to share their group's results and present experimental data.

19:30 - Sleep tracking: tools and algorithms (Achim Heger)
When measuring we are confronted with a few challenges:
Do we measure correctly?
Does the tool work?
Does the algorithm work?

Achim wants to explore these questions in regard to sleep phases and compare data he collected over two weeks.
Movement sensors: iPhone + sleep time, sleep cycle, emfit (beta) HW + SW
EKG: Polar HR + mysleeprate
EEG: ZEO

20:00 - General discussion

20:30 - 21:00 - End of meetup
