Can the Internet make you healthier?
As location-enabled smartphones proliferate, increasingly large amounts of fitness data can be collected more easily and inexpensively than ever before. By aggregating this data in one place, and building a virtual platform that combines , coaching, game mechanics, and social networking, is it possible to increase the health of the world’s population in a meaningful way? This session will talk about some of the trends that make the fitness/technology convergence a particularly exciting one, and what the implications will be going forward for you and me.
