Patient-generated data

        Alexandra Carmichael
   IFTF Health Horizons Conference
               July 2009
I track myself every day



• Chronic pain symptoms, supplements, mood, sex life
• Genetics research and bioinformatics background
• WebMD and DailyStrength, no patient data sites!
Culture of participation


                            • Started with 3
                              conditions, now 300

Data growth 25% per month
                            • 100+ measures tracked:
                              calories to chronic pain
                            • Medium-term: genomics,
                              streaming biometrics
What this means for
the future of health

       • Self-organized clinical trials -
         lithium trial
       • Social Data Network - private
         individual, open aggregate
       • Personalized medicine - which
         treatment will work for my
         symptoms?
Find me online
