Introduction -- Chapter 1. Self-Tracking and the Quantification of Everyday Life -- Chapter 2. Getting Things Done: Gaming and Framing -- Chapter 3. How Apps Foster Medicalization -- Chapter 4.

This book analyzes the role of health apps to promote medicalization. It considers whether their use is an individual matter, rather than a political and social one, with some apps based on a medical framework positively promoting physical activity and meditation, or whether data-sharing can foster social discrimination.-- Source other than Library of Congress.
