I wouldn't do it, but find the experiment worthwhile. Will look for the results in 20 years time.

What do other wealthy people spend their money on? Big houses and boats and hookers and blow or simply getting more money they don't actually need at the expense of others? Or "saving the world" which often actually causes more problems?

This seems as valid a use of time and wealth as anything. It wouldn't be for me, but I don't find it the least bit sad.

If the data is released it may be helpful for other medical research in the future as well. It's a daily/weekly/monthly graph of many measurable things.
Is it not like a clinical trial with a sample size of 1 and no control group? Seems no less self indulgent than a big house or boat.
