Abstract

The value of personal health data continues to be a debated topic in HCI and society more broadly. We investigate the monetary value people attach to their health data. Using a custom mobile app for 14 days with 55 participants, we collected health data (sleep duration, sleep quality, pain intensity, wake-up times) and a daily monetary data valuation using a reverse second-price auction. Participants bid to sell their data to a for-profit company, the government, or academia. Our findings indicate that people value their data differently based on who is buying. We also show that people are interested in monetizing their personal health data despite privacy and data protection concerns. The presented study helps us understand the data value landscape and paves way to a healthier data-driven future where people may benefit more from their own contributions, either in monetary or other forms.

野生个人健康数据的货币估值

个人健康数据的价值一直是人机交互领域乃至整个社会争论的话题。我们调查了人们对其健康数据所赋予的货币价值。我们使用一个定制的移动应用程序，对 55 名参与者进行了为期 14 天的健康数据收集（睡眠时间、睡眠质量、疼痛强度、起床时间），并采用反向二次价格拍卖的方式对每日数据进行货币估值。参与者竞价将自己的数据出售给营利性公司、政府或学术界。我们的研究结果表明，根据购买者的不同，人们对其数据的估值也不同。我们还表明，尽管存在隐私和数据保护方面的顾虑，人们还是对个人健康数据货币化感兴趣。本研究有助于我们了解数据价值格局，并为更健康的数据驱动型未来铺平道路。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Human-Computer Studies publishes original research over the whole spectrum of work relevant to the theory and practice of innovative interactive systems. The journal is inherently interdisciplinary, covering research in computing, artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, communication, design, engineering, and social organization, which is relevant to the design, analysis, evaluation and application of innovative interactive systems. Papers at the boundaries of these disciplines are especially welcome, as it is our view that interdisciplinary approaches are needed for producing theoretical insights in this complex area and for effective deployment of innovative technologies in concrete user communities. Research areas relevant to the journal include, but are not limited to: • Innovative interaction techniques • Multimodal interaction • Speech interaction • Graphic interaction • Natural language interaction • Interaction in mobile and embedded systems • Interface design and evaluation methodologies • Design and evaluation of innovative interactive systems • User interface prototyping and management systems • Ubiquitous computing • Wearable computers • Pervasive computing • Affective computing • Empirical studies of user behaviour • Empirical studies of programming and software engineering • Computer supported cooperative work • Computer mediated communication • Virtual reality • Mixed and augmented Reality • Intelligent user interfaces • Presence ...
