Created by Umesh Janardhanan, Kenneth Aleksander Robertsen, and Hideaki Matsui at the Copenhagen Institue of Interactive Design,Velux Quantee is a data service designed to help improve quality of life on a personal and societal level by collecting lifestyle data from users. A wearable "Quantee" patch gathers biometrics and personal environmental exposures from the user.

"Combining those two sets of variables is the key to quantify unique data; for example, concurrent measuring of environmental noise and stress levels enables to analyze how a user feels in the environment. Users get a personalized suggestions for improving their living conditions as well as analysis of their lifestyle and exposure levels. Quantee reveals the users own unnoticed world through providing them with a quantified lifestyle sphere – information on a wide range of variables on their lives which in other ways is hard to measure."

As mentioned above, Velux Quantee is not just designed for personal quant-self use. The data from participating users is aggregated to form, "a quality of life knowledge base with real-world information on actual living conditions to provide new insight into peoples lives and needs beyond traditional statistics."

Collected data can be used by architects, public health officials, and urban planners to better shape urban spaces.

While we're not exactly sure how a patch measures "comfort level", this level of personal information collection is reminiscent of Behavio, a smartphone-based project that we've yet to see the results of.
