SXSW 2023

Your Body is a Unique Database. Who Owns It?

Description:

Digital health data has become a 21st century commodity. Since the launch of commercially available fitness wearables, we’ve transitioned from “quantified self” trackers with an n-of-1 to a broader “quantified health” movement where insights are mined to improve healthcare and research across populations. As people continue daily adoption of smart devices and digital therapeutics, with wide ranging applications, endless possibilities emerge for improved health. Join us to discuss current implications – including the role of alternative data sources and predictive AI/ML for disease detection – and complexities, including widely held concerns surrounding privacy, ethics, and the health equity divide. It’s your body, hence your dataset. So, bring your questions and join the conversation.
