Information Ecosystems for Well-being
Information Ecosystems for Well-being
In 2011, our Health Horizons Program looked at health and well-being from an ecosystems lens, emphasizing the interactions between our bodies, networks, and environments. In 2012, we focused on information ecosystems of well-being, recognizing the greatest challenge for our health and well-being ecosystems will be making sense of the abundant health data that will be created by and flow between the various elements of daily life.
With access to an unprecedented amount of data, we will gain unprecedented high-resolution view into our bodies, networks, and environments. These complex and numerous sources of data will shape the future. Our research materials will help you explore how this data will shape innovation and understanding of our own health and well-being.
