Self-tracking technologies like digital pedometers, food journaling apps, and mood-monitoring apps make up a nearly $20 billion industry in the U.S., with over 40% of U.S. adults having used one and half of primary care providers recommending one. However, people often fail to benefit from the health and wellbeing data collected from these technologies. One reason is that people find the design of these technologies ignores the realities of their everyday lives, in terms of what they can realistically undertake and what resources they have available to them. To help researchers and industry better align the design of self-tracking technology with people's realities, this project will establish deeper understanding of how self-tracking technology can support more meaningful engagement to help people improve their wellbeing.Grounded in theories of meaningfulness, the research team will design, create, and deploy three novel applications that address three aspects of meaningfulness that are understudied in personal informatics: connectedness, resonance, and significance. The first is a webapp for creating customizable representations of physical activity data on watch faces, to promote deeper personal connection between people's values, interests, and their data. The research team will further utilize the webapp in a high school summer program for historically underrepresented groups in computing to introduce students to computing, design, and self-tracking around wellbeing. The second is a communal digital display surfacing shared eating experiences in families, to enhance bonding and resonance among family members. The third involves annotation tools for validated scales used in mental health treatment, to allow people to communicate the significance of the data they collect as part of their care. Informed by people's lived experiences with these approaches, the research team will synthesize the results of these studies to create an empirically validated framework describing how to design meaningful self-tracking interactions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在美国，自我追踪技术等技术在美国构成了近200亿美元的行业，其中40％以上的美国成年人使用过一半的初级保健提供商建议。但是，人们通常无法从这些技术中收集的健康和福祉数据中受益。原因之一是人们发现这些技术的设计忽略了他们日常生活的现实，就他们可以实际承担的东西以及他们提供的资源而言。 To help researchers and industry better align the design of self-tracking technology with people's realities, this project will establish deeper understanding of how self-tracking technology can support more meaningful engagement to help people improve their wellbeing.Grounded in theories of meaningfulness, the research team will design, create, and deploy three novel applications that address three aspects of meaningfulness that are understudied in personal informatics: connectedness, resonance, and significance.首先是一个WebApp，用于创建手表面上的体育活动数据的可自定义表示形式，以促进人们的价值，兴趣和数据之间的更深层次的个人联系。研究团队将进一步在一项高中夏季计划中使用WebApp，以在计算中为历史上代表性不足的小组提供介绍，以向学生介绍围绕健康的计算，设计和自我追踪。第二个是一个公共数字展示，在家庭中浮出水面共享的饮食经验，以增强家庭成员之间的联系和共鸣。第三个涉及用于心理健康治疗中经过验证的量表的注释工具，以使人们能够传达收集的数据的重要性。在人们通过这些方法的生活经验的情况下，研究团队将综合这些研究的结果，以创建经验验证的框架，描述了如何设计有意义的自我跟踪互动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响来审查Criteria的评估，并被视为值得通过评估的支持。
