    "With approximately 133M Americans (more than 40% of the US population) suffering from one or more chronic diseases, the healthcare community is looking for more effective and efficient ways to manage chronic diseases. Part of that pursuit is in finding sustainable ways to help patients better understand their conditions and manage their health by empowering patients, connecting them to information, care, and therapies in ways they want. Join fellow innovators to work on a challenging, multi-faceted, meaningful opportunity to advance clinical care, quality of life, and outcomes for nearly half the US. How can we improve patient literacy and clinical understanding? How do we help patients feel more in-control of their medical care? What can be done to help patients understand when and where they should seek care? These are just some of the pain points begging for thoughtful, tech-enabled solutions."

    Eric Heckler's comment ACTION-TARGETED STUDIES: For these studies, the focus is more on vetting if an action is "worth it" for a person. An example of this is Sayali's dissertation, http://www.hack-your-health.org/.

  • transform people from health service consumers to health and wealth producers
  • transforms digital healthcare from patient-centric to patient-driven
  • here is not only accountability between us, but an interdependence between us if we want all of us to survive and this is the world we are now moving into,

    "Cahana broke down the possibilities presented by distributed ledger technology. "Blockchain offers an operational environment that allows us to analyze data at its source. We don't need to create these huge data banks that can be hacked and manipulated. We don't need to bring the data to the algorithm, the algorithm can go to the data. It is called federated learning which is like machine learning together with privacy-preserving technologies," said Cahana. "The idea of introducing a whole token economy into healthcare is to transform people from health service consumers to health and wealth producers. As opposed to artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, genomics, telemedicine, and all these things that are innovative and are general-purpose technologies that make things faster, better and cheaper, blockchain really is disruptive in the business model. It really transforms digital healthcare from patient-centric to patient-driven. People can drive their own health similar to how they invest in their wealth.""
