Nitesh Chawla, a computer science professor at Notre Dame and self-proclaimed "dataologist," argues that Americans' health and wellness would improve if we paid more attention to the facts and circumstances of people's daily lives, such as access to grocery stores and recreational facilities. In partnership with their doctors, people could then identify trends between their personal habits and certain diseases. Tracking personal data on a large scale, he says, can help us move from insufficient healthcare to abundant health.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
