Sleep data is cool stuff. I mean, really cool, wicked awesome, holy-cow caliber stuff. The obvious reason is that it’s like getting a report from the other side.

Recently, a Zeo user named Joel B. wrote to us and told us how his wife’s life improved after her sleep improved. Their story falls into the “mindblowing” category. Here’s Joel’s story: For perhaps 6-8 months, possibly [...]

Howdy- I’m Keith, the new guy on the content team. I’m also a new Zeo user and I love the data I get from it. I will admit though, that part of this love affair might come from the fact that, every morning, Zeo tells me that I have great sleep. I didn’t pop [...]

Editor’s note: When I came across Laurie Frick’s sleep inspired works of art, I thought “Yes! This is a whole new way of using and looking at Zeo data that we never imagined–but here it is!” I was even more excited to learn that Laurie has been at this for years, using bio-feedback and bio-rhythms [...]

Today’s post comes from Seth Roberts, a professor of psychology at Tsinghua University in Beijing and a self-tracking champ. Recently, Seth went to a Quantified Self Meet-Up, saw a presentation by a Zeo user, and wrote this post as a result. He blogs about his and others’ experiments at blog.sethroberts.net Christine Peterson’s poster of her [...]

Recently, it seems that tons of new and existing companies, industry movers and shakers, and others wired to the digital life have come to us with this idea: Shouldn’t all of your health data be in one place? Put it here (with us)! We’re all for that–but what do you do once all that data’s [...]

True Story: I first met Jason Jacobs of Runkeeper at a South End breakfast spot a few years ago. At that time Runkeeper was just an iPhone app that tracked your runs (now it’s a comprehensive fitness platform) and Zeo had yet to be released. Oddly enough, during that breakfast (or many thereafter) I hardly gave [...]
