We are at the beginning of a revolution…

I see parallels between the current state of health data tracking and the trajectory of adoption we saw in the early days of internet, broadband, and mobile adoption.

Here’s a clip I just found from an interview with WHYY’s Dan Gottlieb in which I explain what I mean by that:

I loved being part of the conversation with Dan, Ernesto Ramirez, and Heather Patterson. Here’s the full interview: Self-Tracking: Quantified Self Movement.

If you want to dig in further, here’s the Pew Research Center report I refer to, Tracking for Health, and more essays, speeches, and deep thoughts about the past, present, and future of health data tracking.
