Self-tracking

The practice of using technology — typically wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers — to systematically record and monitor personal data about one's own behaviour, health, or activities. Self-tracking can help individuals, including older adults and people with disabilities, increase awareness of sedentary behaviour, encourage physical activity, and manage chronic conditions. However, the accuracy of self-tracking systems depends on the representativeness of the training data used in their activity recognition models, which often underrepresent older adults and people with disabilities.
