Two high-tech health events were held last week — an East Coast-West Coast data-driven smackdown. I chose East, but my eyes kept straying West, and I am very thankful that the organizers for both are archiving the videos online.<\/p>\n\n

Here are a couple of stand-outs, first from Living By Numbers<\/a> in New York City:<\/p>\n\n

Jennifer Kurkoski and Brian Welle talked about how Google engages in behavioral design to help people avoid gaining weight even as they are surrounded by delicious food. Obvious tip: use smaller plates and you’ll eat less. Non-obvious tip: don’t trick people, tell them what you’re doing and bring them into the game you’re playing. (Watch the video<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n

Meantime, in San Francisco, Alexandra Drane of Eliza Corp. regaled Strata Rx<\/a> with her insights about how caregiving and stress might be even more serious health threats than diabetes and high blood pressure:<\/p>\n\n

I loved how both of these presentations focused on the reality of people’s lives. That’s where I focus my energy and time. As I said at Medicine X<\/a> (and plan to say at Connected Health<\/a>): the best way to anticipate the future is to understand \u2013 and respect \u2013 what people are doing today.<\/p>\n\n
