Health 2.0

September 2009

I invested $30 in a digital pedometer and started experimenting with HealthVault. I started documenting my own health information because:

a) I am a nerd
b) I wanted to help people understand what their health data looks like
c) I wanted to help people understand what they can do with their health data

August 2009

Regina happened to be out of town when Howard Dean was at Politics and Prose doing a book signing on the same block as her 73 Cents mural in August. My mission was to make sure Howard Dean saw the mural. Mission accomplished!

July 2009

I met Regina Holliday at the end of May. A few weeks later, in June, her husband passed away from advanced kidney cancer. By July, her second medical advocacy mural was was well underway.


After pizza at Comet Ping Pong, Regina showed new friends the partially finished mural at 5001 Connecticut Avenue, NW in Washington, DC.

June 2009

I had been too busy to attend HealthCamp when I was in Boston in April, so I jumped at the chance to attend my first HealthCamp, just outside of Baltimore, Maryland. By this time, Claudio Luis Vera and I had launched the Open Health Project web site, so Claudio gave a talk on Open Source.


The slideshow he presented is available here.

May 2009

I spent the first weeks of May recuperating from the April Health 2.0 Meets Ix conference. Things kicked back into gear towards the end of May.

An unstructured meeting on May 27 changed things up a bit.
