PARADOX

A lot of my current focus revolves around understanding and solving the problem I call the Participation Paradox: Health is highly valued by many, yet very few people actually participate in organized health research. Why?

In organized health research, the “architecture of participation” (to borrow a term from Tim O’Reilly) is still in its infancy. A great place to see early formations and imagine what’s next, is GET Labs on April 25th at Harvard Medical School.

If you look at things people say they value, health is usually near the top of the list. For example, good health and well-being are #3 on the UN’s sustainable development goals for 2030.

Adding some additional whitespace for organizing thoughts. Happy New Year!
