Ever thought of capturing data already generated by most of us who exercise? Why? To create a health platform with already existing technologies and allow those in better shape to pay lower insurance premiums, if any. This implies sharing information which yes, can be sensitive, but with proper regulation from Congress should not go astray. I am actually doing this experiment in (not the USA) but Spain, and of course I get NO support from insurance companies so far because as you all agree they have no interest in innovating given they have hoarded cash for decades without any questioning from the general public. But, slowly bite after bite I am creating a database that will be open and available to all insurance coÂs that will then have to lower premiums to thos e who are healthy or otherwise they loose the client. No need to invent anything today. Just apply what we have, which is far too much in terms of IT and R&D in this HIT world.;-)
