[Air-L] self-improvement apps, coaching, imaginaries of self-improvement

[AgnieszkA KrzeminskA]

Hello AoIR list!

I am looking for resources self-improvement apps, i.e. on self-tracking / self-monitoring mobile applications with the focus on improvement of skills (brain, mood, fitness etc.).
I know the interesting publications by Deborah Lupton and Jill Walker Rettberg, but am now looking into the relationship of these apps to counseling formats like coaching. I am specially interested in how users imagine themselves within the usage of these apps.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance,
Agnieszka
