Now

Updated Jan '25

Derek Sivers has come up with the lovely idea of now pages on personal web sites to answer the question "What are you focused on now?". The concept is straightforward: imagine running into an old friend you haven't seen in a year. How would you catch them up on what you've been doing? That's the essence of a now page and there is more to it.

As for me, I am working on the concept of data donations in health. Would people donate their data for research? If yes, why? What technical requirements are needed to facilitate easy data donation? Last year we put together a research proposal and now 19 institutions are exploring the idea of health data donations in a 2-year project.
