Hi! We are researchers in the Brown University Human-Computer Interaction group who developed a self-tracking app called ‘Self-E’ to study whether it can help users run small experiments on themselves to try and optimize various aspects of their well-being. In the app, you can select an experiment to try and after a few days, you would receive a result with how much (if at all) it has improved the well-being aspect you are tracking. Tell us what you think!
More details on how it works here: selfe.cs.brown.edu
@tuckle We weighed having that option… Based on this study, we found that experimenting with too many variables often led to inconclusive results for novice self-experimenters, so we removed that option for now. We may incorporate that feature at some point in the future, if that’s desirable!
