Jeffrey Olgin, professor and the chief of Cardiology at UCSF, at the Quantified Self Symposium 2018.

“Within a few days we were able to identify the 20 most common triggers of atrial fibrillation. People with those triggers will be micro randomized to an intervention of their choice and monitored for the frequency of atrial fibrillation and the variability of symptoms during cross over testing periods of their trigger.”

Jeffrey Olgin is a renowned cardiologist and the co-principal investigator of the NIH-funded Health eHeart study. Here, he introduces the Eureka platform, which allows individuals to create their own hypotheses and test them with assistance from researchers, while contributing data for larger cohort studies. His talk outlines the possibilities of an “N-of-many-ones” approach, bringing promising self-tracking practices into contact with mainstream group research.
