When Henry Ford first created the Model T, it didn’t have a dash-board. Early drivers had no idea how fast they were going or how much gas was in the tank. We’ve been functioning in much of the same way when it comes to monitoring our health. Aside from the occasional visit to the doctor, we’ve had little way of really knowing what was going on underneath our hood. But now technologists see opportunity in a brave new world where the screens on our phones are tiny dashboards, crunching our data and tipping us off when our bodies are running out of gas, in need of a tune-up, or somehow malfunctioning.
