Is it time we stopped indulging the quantified selves to focus on the bigger prize of improving the health of nations?
Behaviour change expert Stuart Bowden highlights how to use passive data from open sources to guide health decisions. He will illustrate how this data can be used to actively move people who are disengaged with their health to make and sustain positive change.
In 20 years experience, Bowden has worked with and consulted for numerous government bodies and private sector businesses using geographical search, emotional and social response data to trigger people into action. In the session, he will discuss how the scale of this opportunity far outweighs the quantified self.
3. It is time to move away from indulging the
quantified selves to use passive data to
transform the health of the fitbit-free masses.
What is the scale of the opportunity that passive data
provides to improve the health of the masses?
Which data owners do governments need to engage in order
to reap the benefits of mass passive data-mining?
At what point does using data to improve peoples health turn
a nation into a big brother state?
4. Helping the disengaged masses
Data gathered from wearable tech users is only a small part of the whole story
what about the vast majority of people who cant afford wearables or simply
arent engaging with them?
Decisions are being made based on people who have the least need but are the
most visible because they are tech enabled and engaging.
How can we use open, passive data to actively move those who are disengaged to
make and sustain positive changes to their health?
