Abstract
In current research on the use of self-tracked data, complete and reliable data are often assumed as conditional for effective use. We argue that this is not only unrealistic, but also not required, for many potential benefits of sharing self-tracking data with healthcare professionals. In this paper, we discuss the value of a large historical account of day-to-day health and lifestyle data as a source of information for healthcare professionals. We see an important role for data as a tool in supporting communication and joint sense- and decision-making between client and healthcare professional.
