自我跟踪设备和应用程序通常以相当直接的方式测量和解释个人数据，例如通过可视化跑步的速度和距离或夜间睡眠质量。然而，越来越多的设备声称通过广泛的数据分析来支持增加幸福感，以提供关于我们生活，身体和体验中不可见和被忽视的维度的见解和算法建议。这篇文章涉及两种这种设备，即Moodmetric和Pandora，这是两种最近发布的“智能”戒指，带有相关的智能手机应用程序，声称可以测量情绪和休息，促进幸福感并帮助用户更好地表现。聚焦于某些价值观，愿景和想法是如何被用来框架和解释这些设备的潜在功能，本文探讨了他们的设计的话语基础，深深交织在一起的时间性晚现代性。从经验上讲，这篇文章是基于一个话语分析的博客文章，营销材料和用户指南，从martURA和Moodmetric公司沿着视频记录的公开露面和销售摊位的公司代表。
Self-tracking devices and apps often measure and provide interpretations of personal data in a rather straightforward way, for instance by visualising the speed and distance of a run or the quality of sleep during night. There is, however, a growing number of devices claiming to support increased wellbeing by extensive data analysis to provide insights and algorithmic advice about unseen and neglected dimensions of our lives, bodies, and experiences. This article engages with two devices of this kind, namely the Moodmetric and the ŌURA which are two recently released ‘smart’ rings with associated smartphone apps that claim to measure emotions and rest, promote happiness and help users to perform better. Focusing on how certain values, visions and ideas are used to frame and explain the potential functionality of these devices, this article approaches the discursive underpinnings of their design as deeply intertwined with the temporalities of late modernity. Empirically, the article is based on a discourse analysis of blog posts, marketing materials and user guides from the ŌURA and Moodmetric companies along with video recordings of the public appearances and sales pitches of company representatives.
