I am also interested in the creation of software like this. For a couple of years, I have been tracking data about myself in a bespoke system I made for myself, to discover correlations. Only in the last weeks have I started looking at existing software, and discovered that there is a term for quantified-self and a community around it.
Of special interest is a feedback loop, where the data is used to drive behavioral changes and discovering what effects they have on the data gathered. A reason for this is that I have medical conditions that I want to remedy through changes in behavior. There is an impressive amount of existing software for this, and I’m still experimenting with them. Nothing quite scratches my itch yet, though. In particular, nothing combines quantifying self with tools for facilitating the growth of helpful habits and the withering of detrimental ones.
On these forums, I have found posts expressing things that people want from software like this, and in this thread in particular. I have extra motivation for writing this software, namely that I am about to finish my computer science degree, and I want to both develop marketable skills as a developer and engineer, as well as hone skills from my studies, like applying machine learning and AI in practice. Because of the former, I am particular about which technologies and services I would like to use to develop and deploy. However, I reckon these preferences to be a good match for creating and deploying such software.
So for I haven’t delved much into the research in the area, but plan to do so in the coming weeks.
I would very much like to cooperate with you guys who have ideas and motivation for creating The One Dashboard, and signed up for the show and tell on the 14’th. Also, if anyone wants to discuss ideas, you can reach me at thomas.stenhaug@gmail.com
