- "Data Utility Layers": Platforms trying to address some of self-tracking's growing issues around its lack of interoperability. For example, RunKeeper's Health Graph API aims
to be a one-stop portal where data from its own RunKeeper app can be integrated with data from Foursquare, Zeo, Withings, Polar, Wahoo , BodyMedia , Jog Log, iSmoothRun, SwimConverter, WeightConnect, Fitocracy, Fitness Widget Generator, Withings’ Blood Pressure Monitor, and Arookoo to provide users a more complete picture of their health. Many of these products have their own UI but companies like RunKeeper are trying to gather these dispirit data sources under one roof.
- Although self-tracking has been featured on Oprah, Martha Stewart, The Morning show and a host of main stream media outlets, the primary self-tracking community is still dominated by quirky early adopters. If you're willing to take a walk on the health data "wild-side," you can always stop by The Bay Area Quantified Self Meetup and learn about these self-tracking trends for yourself.
