About this talk
We leave a trail of digital data breadcrumbs as we go about our days. With access and good apps, we could make sense of this “small data” to help get a clearer picture of our personal health. Deborah Estrin, networked sensing pioneer, Professor of Computer Science at the new Cornell Tech campus in New York City and co-founder of the non-profit startup, Open mHealth, explains at TEDMED 2013.
