The future of healthcare is prevention

There is an entry in my Tractor and Silo record for a work offsite on Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Moves captured it.

On May 8, 2019, I added a note to it. Here is the entry, with the note as I wrote it.

“Work offsite when I worked at Vanderbilt. I think this had something to do with our research and dive into what we perceived the future of healthcare to be. My answer: The future of healthcare is prevention. I couldn’t believe more strongly in that. It’s just so true. Today is Wednesday, May 8, 2019 … four years later and I still stand by my belief from this experience.”

Four frontier models, one year of office sensor data, four very different dashboards

I have an Adafruit Clue sensor sitting on the desk in my home office. It has been logging temperature, humidity, pressure, light, sound, and color every thirty seconds for a little over a year. 425,000 readings. About 33 megabytes of CSV. (I wrote up the build itself a year ago: CircuitPython on the device, a Python pywebview gateway on the Mac, USB Serial in between.)

I finally fed that year of data to four frontier models and asked each of them to build me a single self-contained HTML dashboard. Same prompt. Same data. Four very different answers.
