The Designing Pacing Technologies research project explores how people with chronic illnesses that include the symptom of chronic fatigue use commercially available fitness tracking technologies to manage their energy levels. 

This research is inspired by my own experience of having long COVID since 2020 and having managed my recovery through using a Fitbit tracking device in my paper Self-tracking to do less: An autoethnography of long COVID that informs the design of pacing technologies. 

We are currently conducting a research through design project on designing pacing technologies specifically for people with chronic fatigue symptoms.
