I'm w/ you Jon, as I straddle all 3 groups: VRM, Quantified Self, Soc for Participatory Med.

I'm speaking next month at the Genetic Alliance (who really get this topic) conference, about the power of individuals taking charge of their health data, then choosing to share it in appropriate ways to accelerate health science discoveries.

I should instigate a QS/PDS conversation within the Society for Participatory Medicine; it's a good fit, might bring in some adherents closer to the healthcare field, which needs disruptive innovation.

Indeed given the pretty open nature of most of the QS tools, getting that data into a PDS is pretty easy.

If I were on The Coast, I'd do my best to make the QS conference this weekend in Silicon Valley. Hope some of ya'll can get there. Here's the link:
