INFOCEPTION

Definition

is defined in several manners.The most accurate now is to consider infoception as a combination of health and biometrics,cybernetics, and environmental data,gathered in a single profile.

INFOCEPTION

Principles

Infoception is conducted in the observance of three fundamental principles:

ProximityThe Infoception Team has to be a mix of experts and technologues of the studied domains.

ReactivityInfoception Team reacts very quickly to stimulus like operational emergencies,tech changes,environmental hazards,profile brutal modifications,crisis (any kind of..)

TracabilityInfoception Team manage the process in a way that allows monitoring and control of the differents stages .

Complexity of the problems to solve explains the fact that systemic approach is particularly relevant fo infoceptive matters.

INFOCEPTION

Methods

Methods/R-D approachHow to build the so-called infoceptive profile of any individual or groupware?the steps are variables selection

scoring algorithms definition and settlement

software programming

variable testing procedures

small group testing

All the steps must involves all the issue's stakeholders

Example:to follow musculoskeletal disorders among profssional unsers of computers.

INFOCEPTION

CaptureInfoception is about to extract data from the real world , so they can be used for health,environment,cybernetics matters in various complex digital treatments.

Data extraction is performed using digital sensors,to capture the state of cybernetics,health system,environment via relevant data.

INFOCEPTION

StoreThe informations captured via digital sensors are stored in servers and managed in a database,in order to be reused for any relevant purpose , with

ethical-sensitive approach of the stock of colllected data.

INFOCEPTION

Analyze

The core of infoception process is the production and analysis of the infoceptive profile.Analysis are based on symbiograms , aka visual representations of the individual/groupware profile.

INFOCEPTION

Display

The analysis are symbiograms-centred Symbiograms are basically graphics,but more and more infographics, smart pictograms with interactive options

INFOCEPTION

Share

The Symbiograms carry within informations or charachteristics of the individual or groupware.Given this , the graphic nature of symbiograms make it easy to share ,in order to solve problems and spread best practices and solutions.

Quantified Self?/Introduction

More than the Wired 's Staff new stuff

Informal and academics

Global movement

For decades Wired magazine has been in the heart of tech changes , as disruptor and/or incubator of new ideas and trends.

Authors could have been amazed by the stream created by quantified self.

Quantified self (QS)is more than the latest techies hype;QS is nothing but human digital enpowerment at its meaningful expression.

Quantified Self?/Introduction

The QS movement is both indie and academics:scientist can see it as a natural evolution of the data management revolution , and

indies are aware of the promisses of specific uses and specific conditions of QS developments in terms of user enpowerment and digital citizenship .

The two sides of QS gather in big business and politics issues(digital healthcare market,data management andpolicies,security,privacy..).

From Frisco bay to Port-Gentil , QS goes global , with emerging groups everyday :the movement is a deflagration!

Quantified Self/Definition

Collecting personal data via wireless devices for personalized purposes

Definition

PredictiveQS collect a lot of health data , so experts can exploit the data to predict events as disease or recovery.

PreventiveA large set of data from QS procedures allows the design of prevention procedure for a wide range of health issues (hypertension , glaucoma,diabetes..).

Personalized

QS is first for personal information,personal decisions,given the distribution of data collected by the wireless sensors.

ParticipativeQS is going social by the possibility of sharing and comparing the collected data.

Big dataBig data is never far away from QS.Participative aspects of QS finally lead from little personalized data to big global data exploitable by big business(Big Pharma,foods supplyers..).

User's journeya QS user must know that his./her profile can be recorded as a journey , and be interesting for a lot of professionals(healthcare,insurance,marketing,big pharma...).

Digital coachingA QS set up profile can be useful for coaching purposes regarding personnal or professional goals.

IS QS AN INSTANCE OF iNFOCEPTION?

QS and INFOCEPTION

Digital enpowerment is a long run process throughout citizen access to multiple capacities building opportunities via Information technologies materials , infrastructures, softwares, applications, contents,networks.Digital empowerment can be described by an infoception matrix

Human computer Interaction is the basis of digital revolution.

QS empowers human and information systems via wireless human-computer interaction

Infoception is the way human computer interaction and other factors improves both human and machine skills in order to provide digital empowerment.

Digital revolution is the early phase of digital empowerment
