However: If the effect comes from the attention and awareness that tracking creates, it might be more challenging to create a study since the control group would have to be tracked as well. For an outcome like weight, muscle strength or other "stock like" outcomes that might not be a problem, as you could measure it before and after the study period - but it might make it difficult to study effecs on more "flow like" outcomes such as "average steps per day".<br /><br />Anecdotally, I found that waking up to a "sleep score" with a Zeo sleep monitor made me more motivated to go to bed early, not drink coffee in the evenings etc as a way of trying to get higher scores. Not because I thought sleep was more important than before, but because I had a very clear outcome measure and it became like a small game where I wanted to get "good scores". Partly, such gadgets may also work by making you aware of trends: Just stepping on a weight scale and logging the trends on an iPhone app (weightbot) prompted me to make small adjustments (like cutting down on sodas and snacks) because I had the background awareness of my current first derivative.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388415117249020295noreply@blogger.com
