Join us for a relaxed and open conversation on personal health monitoring with guests Dr Owen Bain who brings a 'quantified self' perspective together Dr Andrea Pucci who brings medical and clinical perspective. As part of our 'Food & data series' at this event we will:
• Screen the 55min BBC documentary "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" and short clips from "The truth about exercise" to get the conversation started
• Engage in a ~1-1.2hr convivial conversation with our guest speakers about
- prevention of cardiovascular disease - state of the art in medical research: what's known and not (e.g. gut signals and calorie restriction)
- how we track our health - comparing the medical research and Quantified-Self (QS) approaches (what is takes to do it, what it means, showcasing different techniques - if you practice any please share them too!)
- how understanding data and data collection might (or not) empower patients and citizens, and
- how this links to (or is in tension with) UK policies on health
Where: G22 Lecture Theatre, Pearson Building, University College London. Enter UCL via Gower St.
When: Friday 3rd March from 18:30 to ~20:45
