IntroductionPeople strive to gain better knowledge of themselves by collecting information about their behaviors, habits, and thoughts. Personal informatics systems facili-tates the collection and reflection on personal information. This workshop brought together researchers in a wide range of disciplines to discuss challenges and ex-plore opportunities for HCI in the field of personal informatics. We identified tech-nical and design issues. We discussed the benefits of reflecting on information about different facets of one's life, such as increased self-awareness, holistic en-gagement with life, and achievement of life balance. Key research areas include: ubiquitous computing, life logging, visualizations, persuasive technologies, interac-tion design, and the psychology of self-knowledge and self-awareness.
Personal Informatics ChallengesCollectionPerceived cost/benefits for the user
Recording everything & filtering
How to use collection tools
What is your target group?
Viewing content for digital artifacts
Managing different data formats
Generalization from different inputs
ReflectionActive vs. passive
User vs designer perspective
What is the value of reflection?
Reflection to express oneself
Authenticity and confrontation
Social aspects and sharing of data
Going beyond personal reflection
Differences in interest in data
Collection–ReflectionCreating narratives from data
Motivation for collection
Difficulty of aggregating data
Uses of data (e.g., productivity)
Experts vs. novices
Creating readable visualizations?
What would drive self-reflection
Cheaper configurable hardware
Accuracy of sensory input
Reliability of sensors
Lifetime of battery
Easy to use, wearable, non-intrusive
Real-time vs delayed
Local vs. remote log
Collection: Manual vs automatic, anonymous, collection of photos, tags, notes, environmental and context sensors (sound, gaze, smells, light) that enable recon-struct world as seen from my point of view
Reflection: Health? starting conversation with somebody else sharing same point of view as me, public displays, enabling self-discovery and strengthening relationships in community (neighbors, family, friends)

Watch the searches and derive higher-level context from what is searched
Enable user to abstract from (raw) data
User defines metrics
Selective granularities of information with selected groups of people
Score everything with points (user-defined); make it a game
Normalize metrics across users (maybe with help from others)
Facilitate comparison of performance
Make applications in different domains (e.g., energy consumption, nutrition tracking, stress level tracking)
Identify possible ‘changes’ (action points), face challenges to score points!
Implement system as a continuos loop of collection-reflection
TV / live / recorded / different genres Who? On which devices? With whom? Where? When?
We may need different levels of metadata collected during consumption: explicit info, tagged by producer, by system, re-blogged in channels
We may need different pattern recognition techniques to derive sensible metadata
We may derive novel information about ourselves e.g. media consumption anxiety
