"I'm working with a company called GERO, a technology commercialization project out of Moscow. They have done research in the ability to predict early indicators or chronic disease through patterns of locomotion (The Human Locomotome Project). locomotome.com So far, they've collected data from 3000 Fitbit users, and now they are broadening their scope to include other activity trackers. Their work could make the data of existing wearables much more valuable, and they'll launch their first product in April. They will be at CES, b ut their marketing person is in the Bay Area all the time. I think the combination of wearables and the data they're collecting could help alter the course of health care from "sick care" to preventive. Let me know if you are interested. I'm usually pretty trustable:-)" - Francine Hardaway
