Thomas writes about science, health, and medicine and believes that engaging people in their health and involving them as participants and decision makers leads to improving their behavior and their health outcomes. He knows there’s a technology emergence of cheaper, better tools that have the ability to offer people a way “in” — from self-tracking gadgets to online disease communities and beyond. Thomas is intrigued by the confluence of ideas and technology that ...

USERS. OUTGROW. YOU. Wow, this is a first. The good news: #getupandmove is WORKING. The bad news: most of us fall off the wagon after a bit (cough cough Susannah, self). (Notice I do not believe the bad news is people stop wanting to #getupandmove, or stop wanting to use our platform). Unfortunately, the bad news is that behavior change maintained over time takes anywhere from 18-260+ days, depending on your personality, environmental variables, and a whole host of factors we don't currently know how to track and then optimize.

He’s one of the few academic design experts focusing specifically on the user experience in healthcare. And we are delighted to welcome him this year as one of our expert judges for the 2010 DiabetesMine Design Challenge!

I’m going to my first book launch party tomorrow. I’m a bit nervous. It’s for Thomas Goetz’s book The Decision Tree, which was just released. His book and blog carry great insight into the future of health – personalization, quantification, and smarter choices. He even created a nifty app on Wired’s website where you can build your own decision tree. Why am I nervous? Well, the book includes my own personal decision tree (see below), based on my 10-year battle with chronic pain. So now everyone who reads it will know my story. Which is scary but also fantastic, because I think hearing people’s stories is such an important part of healing ourselves that is often missing in traditional doctor-patient hea...

According to author Thomas Goetz, it very largely is. In his new book The Decision Tree, published last week, Thomas argues that since we live in a world where data on anything, including personal health, is abundant, [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3298524 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:00:04 +0100 3298524
