    Larry Smarr: The Quantified Self and its Impact on the Future of Healthcare

    Larry Smarr: The Quantified Self and its Impact on the Future of Healthcare

    The Quantified Self is defined as a movement that allows individuals to measure, track, and quantify biometrics in a holistic fashion — with the capability to one day move from sick care to proactive care. And with the rise in digital health tools available to self-track and analyze your body’s data, the quantified self enables individuals to make informed decisions around taking control of their health.
    In this episode, Larry Smarr, a physicist and leader in scientific computing, chats with Manifold Partner John Sviokla to discuss how charting bodily inputs and outputs in minute detail will alter the future of healthcare from the outside-in. As the founding director of California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, Smarr pulls from his acclaimed work and personal tracking research to reveal the true ecology of the quantified self and its implications for healthcare’s future.

Super insightful and interesting conversations

I’ve listed to most of these podcasts, and so far every single one has been well worth listening to. Incredibly interesting, successful people sharing their stories focused on innovation and entrepreneurship. They’re like longer and richer TED talks… deep dives into how things work, and where things are heading. Entertaining and really useful for me as a venture capitalist.
