DESCRIPTION

The quantified self economy features several activity monitoring devices as well as hundreds of applications that can track several aspects of your life. Atomic Axis believes that the problem with these applications is that they are disparate. They function and churn data for an individual independent of the other facets of human existence. Sure, an app can tell you how long you slept last night and can even illustrate your sleep cycle in an impressive visualization and analytical interface—but can it extrapolate that information to tell you how that data will affect your mood, efficiency and behavior throughout the day? The overall theme of their vision is that organizations are finding interesting ways to gather data and use that data to make predictions. As soon as we are able to find a meaningful way to correlate quantified self data, can we use that data in an effort to solve large scale health issues? Just as Google was able to predict flu trends using aggregated search queries, we can use aggregated health information to make certain predictions that can improve individual and certain demographic’s quality of life, reduce healthcare expenditures by understanding exactly where funds need to be allocated, and aid health professionals in their effort to detect, prevent and remediate any potential large scale health issue.

About Me

Did going to MIT make me a dorky nerd?

Did playing rugby in college make me a brain

dead jock?

Does starting my own company automatically

make me a hip entrepreneur?

Individual elements do not necessarily define the

person

Where did QS get started?

How do we use individual’s aggregated QS data?

Big Data to Solve Big Problems

DNA Testing Services asses:• Inherited traits• Genetic makeup• Lineages• Congenital risk factors

Having a deep understanding of the data that makes up specific demographics gives professionals the ability to understand potential health risks.

Early detections of diseases give professionals the ability to take action and prevent widespread outbreaks.

Exploring Flu Trends with Google

Using aggregated search terms to track the spread of diseases

Google Flu Trends Estimate

US Flu Activity

United States Data

Connecting with similar individuals to share: • Conditions• Treatment history• Side effects• Quality of lifeAggregated data on specific diseases can paint a clear picture of how certain diseases progress and what the most effective remedies for these diseases are.

Ideas for the Future1. Create an aggregated dashboard that

combines your tracked data.2. Use the data as an open research

platform to study wide ranges of health issues.

3. Focus on broad scientific research for the betterment of human health and disease prevention.

Who can help?

• Researchers• Pharmaceutical Companies• Regulators• Providers• Nonprofits

How do we benefit?• Improved individual quality of life• Reduced healthcare costs• Preventing and curing disease• The ability to detect, prevent and

remediate potential large scale health issues.
