Introducing HealthCasting
HealthCasting is an application that will use the data you collect today to forecast your health tomorrow. Currently around 1 in 5 adults in the US use technology to track their health (pew), and the number of ways you can track your health is increasing exponentially.
Unfortunately up till now, this data is scattered across different apps, and often remains static; you can see how any one measure changes over time, but it is unclear how change in 1 measure, like the number of daily steps you take, alters measures like your resting heart rate or your weight. With HealthCasting you can integrate your health data in a visually appealing way, and over time we will provide real time advice that show which behaviors lead to the best outcome in the long run, both physically and mentally.
What sets us apart is that under the hood, we will use state of the art research and statistics to help with a better understanding of which variables are the most important drivers of change. With my background in neuroscience and psychology I have acquired tools (research, programming, data visualization, statistics) to really change the way we think about quantifying our lives and changing it for the better.
From babies to seniors. From athletes to workaholics. This application is for anyone with an interest in improving health, and the willingness to track their behaviors. It is my goal that HealthCasting will help inform you how choices that you make today will lead to a healthy life tomorrow.
