You are warmly invited to attend the BRCB Friday afternoon seminar: "From Data to Empowerment: The Power of Health Self‑Tracking"

Speaker

Sara Caramaschi, Department of Computer Science and Media Technology, Malmö University

Talk overview

This talk highlights how digital health technologies enable meaningful self-tracking across diverse conditions. By examining concrete use cases, we show how monitoring physical activity and physiological patterns can support the assessment of health and its symptoms, enhance disease management, and personalize interventions. We argue that self-tracking is not merely observational, but a powerful mechanism for empowerment, bridging prevention, clinical insight, and everyday decision-making in modern healthcare.
