Science and Technology Conjecture: Baseline

With the evolution of social media, it is no longer just a place to post pictures and share your thoughts. It has now evolved into spaces where users can track and encourage each other's personal development. Applications like Strava and Nike run club allow you to build community as you track daily activities and set goals to improve in athletic endeavors. These platforms encourage participants to engage in healthier habits through various methods like follower encouragement, streaks, and challenges. Baseline would utilize a similar model to encourage health tracking and improvement behaviors. Users would be able to set goals in relation to health metrics and behavior improvement. The app would utilize wearables to track health metrics, which could be automatically updated into the app. Over time tracking would allow users to visualize and understand health trends, helping them better understand how personal lifestyle behaviors may affect their health. In concordance with encouragement from followers and application insights, users would be encouraged to take more autonomy with their health. This could help lead to better health behavior adherence and improvements by making these behaviors feel more fun than like a chore.
