ABSTRACT
Resocialisation is a guided process by which ex-convicts are introduced back into society. An issue that arises in this process is that ex-convicts are behind on technological developments when they return to society. Here, we present work on how quantified self technology, as an alternative to the present-day ankle monitor, can be a helpful tool to obtain overview and insight in their progress. In particular, we present a prototype that physically monitors stress levels as an indicator of behavioural patterns. Results from research with former convicts shows how giving ownership over tracking data can help the user group understand their societal status and become more sovereign during their resocialisation process. Finally, we reflect on ethical questions regarding data gathering, Quantified Other and privacy for ex-convicts.

New frontiers of quantified self 2: going beyond numbers
UbiComp '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: AdjunctWhile the Quantified Self (QS) community is described in terms of "self-knowledge through numbers" people are increasingly demanding value and meaning. In this workshop we aim at refocusing the QS debate on the value of data for providing new services.
The irony and re-interpretation of our quantified self
OzCHI '13: Proceedings of the 25th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference: Augmentation, Application, Innovation, CollaborationThe new possibilities afforded by cloud computing infrastructure, with respect to the large amounts of data that can now be collected and processed unobtrusively, have triggered a growing interest in systems that record personal life events. We go on ...
The transparent self
This paper critically engages with new self-tracking technologies. In particular, it focuses on a conceptual tension between the idea that disclosing personal information increases one's autonomy and the idea that informational privacy is a condition ...
