What if health care…?

February 8, 2013 By Susannah Fox 3 Comments

Sunflowers by Stuck in Customs on Flickr

For over a year I’ve been the accidental manager of a community garden. All I did — I swear — is point out an open plot of land and people started pitching in, planting, asking friends to join them. All of a sudden we’d transformed a bare patch into something beautiful. I thought for sure […]

What if we could hack happiness?

December 28, 2012 By Susannah Fox 12 Comments

One of the best phone calls I had in 2012 was with John Havens, who has written about the value of a happiness economy and how big data can make us happier and healthier. It reminded me of the “what if health care…?” conversations I was part of on Twitter this year: dreaming big, wishing […]

I chose East, but my eyes kept straying West, and I am very thankful that the organizers for both are archiving the videos online.

Watson: a love story

June 11, 2012 By Susannah Fox Leave a Comment

Before you read this post, think of a time when you had a crush on someone. Think about that swirl of emotions, the highs and the lows. That’s where I was a couple weeks ago, except it wasn’t about a person. I fell hard for Watson, IBM’s hot new outboard brain. I’d heard he was […]

Health, Technology, and Communities of Color

February 16, 2012 By Susannah Fox 20 Comments

Serendipity brought me two opportunities this week to present Pew Internet’s data on communities of color and young people, particularly as it relates to health. On Wednesday I was a guest of the Federal HIV/AIDS Web Council and on Thursday I spoke at a meeting convened by CommonHealth ACTION. I’ll share some insights I picked […]
