Inner view and net weight : environments for personal health exploration

Health monitoring technology is going to change the way health care and health awareness work. While there are many monitoring systems and technologies on the market or under research, few of these systems or technologies provide both the ability to communicate their data to broader infrastructures and the ability to visually educate the user about what that data means. Two prototype objects- Net Weight and Inner View- are presented in this thesis. Net Weight is a scale that records weight data and that communicates with Inner View, a mirror outfitted to augment the user's reflection with visualized data from health monitoring devices.
