Self-tracking can aid healthy habits but may create pressure and self-judgment. Health data can help, but lacks life context, so healthy tracking should remain flexible, balanced, and supportive, prioritising wellbeing over perfection.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explain the benefits and limitations of self-tracking, including how it can create pressure and self-judgment.
  • Analyse the role of data in health, recognising that numerical measures may lack social and emotional context.
  • Apply principles of healthy self-tracking by promoting balanced approaches that prioritise wellbeing over perfection.
