What do you do with all this data? If you know where the people are and how they are behaving, you can look at health variables (progression of flu and other disease). If you can look at the data on the phone, this may facilitate a rough understanding of the person s life. The key here is the ability for our technology to literally collect all the data in a continuous way (and have that data presented in real-time). The importance herein lies in automated data collection and dissemination, instead of following conventional methods (e.g., you get the data from the test, send it off to analyze, have it come back to the expert, have the expert disseminate it to the stakeholder). So we need to be trans-disciplinarian and pull technologies from various silo ed fields to help drive us to this future .current efforts are underway, and have been so for the past 30+ years! Perhaps the tipping point is near .
