Telling Traces

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Continuous GPS and accelerometer traces plus GIS mashups power concrete tools: Waze-style sampled traffic, Pier combining Air Resources Board particulate maps to compute individualized pollution exposure, and a personal carbon calculator used by high school classes to measure and compare commute emissions. Health uses pair traces with timed experience sampling to track side effects and blood glucose; note a cited 60% drop in hypertension meds at six months. Proposal: store raw traces in a personal data vault and release aggregated views on demand.
