N=1 Study
Also known as: N-of-1 · single-subject study
A self-experiment in which an individual researcher systematically tests a protocol on themselves with structured data collection.
An N=1 study is a disciplined version of self-experimentation: baseline measurements, a clearly defined intervention, pre-specified outcomes, systematic data collection, and ideally washout periods with repeat measurement. Done well, N=1 is more informative than anecdote — it captures individual response variability that group-level trials average out.
N=1 limitations are obvious: one data point, no blinding, strong placebo response. But for protocol individualization, a well-run N=1 beats copying a stranger's Reddit post. DoseCraft's structured logging, baseline tracking, and weekly AI reports are designed to turn a casual cycle into a usable N=1.
