I look forward to meeting you all at StrataRx today - and will post slides and eventual video here.
Is it enough to design for a great patient experience, improved health outcomes, and overall cost reductions in health care? While incentives may soon change, the idea of data-driven solutions to improve health care is not a [...]

Three themes (ok memes) that are of increasing interest to me and my green geek friends:
Measuring Good:
How we’ll measure our “good” - if you think ROI of social media is hard, try return on social or environmental impact. I’m curious to dig into what Acumen, Rockefeller, Google, Salesforce, and BCorp are creating with their [...]
Track Your Happiness is the most sustainability-producing information design idea I’ve seen. Why? If we actually spent time pursuing what makes us happy, versus say the pursuit of money and stuff that does not make us not so happy, there would be less waste, more enjoyment, less compromise. Or at least participating in this [...]

Harry Frederick Harlow’s experiments on rhesus monkeys demonstrated primate connection to fuzzy, soft objects in the absence of a real, actual mother monkey. Notice how baby monkey clings to carpet mother. When given a choice between food and terry cloth, monkeys [...]

Backstories: Where [...]
For the second year in a row a DIY project wins the Greener Gadgets Competition - this time it’s a crew from Make Magazine who hacked into a Kill-a-Watt in order to give the device a Twitter voice.
The Kill-a-Watt power meter will “tweet” the daily kilowatt hours consumed to the user’s Twitter account. Make is [...]
