Take the headphones off. Plug your ears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Have you ever pulled up at a stoplight next to a car with the bass cranked and the windows rolled up, and been able to recognize the song from the vibration alone?

But when the bass finally drops, does it \u003cem>ever\u003c/em> drop. I can actually feel it slither down my spine, as the percussion begins hammering me from my shoulders down to my kidneys and through my ribs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re feeling the lower lows down in sort of your solar plexus region, and you are feeling the higher frequencies up higher,” says Leonard. “It’s so precise you are actually able to feel the notes moving up and down your body.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'An Earthquake Took Over My Body'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/shaaheem/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Shaheem Sanchez\u003c/a> is a Los Angeles freestyle R&B and hip hop dancer who lost his hearing at age 4 but started dancing at age 11—he says he practiced feeling music by bopping his head along to the subwoofers in his mom’s car.

The first design, funded by a 2013 Kickstarter campaign, fits into the back of a chair, so a person working with audio software can simply lean back into it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Producing low frequencies is fraught with all kinds of complications and problems. It’s expensive, it’s loud, it’s hard to reproduce accurately across any environment,” says Leonard, who in a previous career life was a studio sound engineer for bands like U2, The Breeders and Frank Black. “So instead of having a big subwoofer, pushing lots of air, making lots of noise, being potentially affected by the environment, this gives you very accurate, high fidelity, reproducible reference points.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But deaf artists quickly joined the SubPac user base. \u003ca href=\"http://thedjlist.com/djs/robbie-wilde/info/\" target=\"_blank\">Deaf DJ Robbie Wilde\u003c/a> was an early adopter, and this spring, SubPac outfitted the guest section for deaf \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArttowOUOg4\" target=\"_blank\">Dancing with the Stars winner Nyle DiMarco\u003c/a> with seated versions of the device, so the audience could feel the beat as he danced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, SubPac has offices in Los Angeles, Toronto and at Playground Studios in San Francisco, a co-development workspace that features an indoor swing set and two-story curly slide.

It adds another dimension to unlocking the world around you or breaking down barriers for communication.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amping the Reality in Virtual Reality\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Badali likes to think of the SubPac as a vessel into which you can insert any cultural wedge—music, dance, video games, virtual reality experiences, movies. During my visit to Playground, I watched the most recent \"Star Wars\" and \"Mission Impossible\" trailers while wearing the vest. This time, it felt like having a chaotic fireworks finale erupt across my back, each rumble echoing an onscreen explosion, spaceship maneuver or feat of derring-do by a spy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, Leonard offered me a go at a virtual reality game called Audioshield. Still wearing the SubPac vest and headphones, we added a VR headset and a pair of hand controllers, and dropped me into the middle of a (virtual) neon-lit arena. My task was to jump around deflecting oncoming blobs of light, catching the blue ones with my left hand and the orange ones with the right—all to the beat of Missy Elliott’s enormously bouncy \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/shaaheem/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">“WTF (Where They From),”\u003c/a> which engulfed me in the beat from both the headphones and the vest. VR labs often rely on subwoofers built into the floor or mounted under chairs to relay tactile sensations and create the illusion of “presence,” or actually being within the virtual environment. Moving floors work, but actually being shaken by the chest makes the virtual feel incredibly close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darin McFadyen, SubPac’s head of creative, who also doubles as the DJ and electronic music producer \u003ca href=\"http://freqnasty.com/\" target=\"_blank\">FreQ Nasty\u003c/a>, envisions SubPacs adding a tactile element to augmented reality. Imagine, he says, playing a game like Pokémon GO or taking an interactive tour of a museum without having to keep an eye on your phone. Instead, the pack buzzing to the left or right could cue you which way to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to wander around holding up phones to our faces,” McFadyen says. “That’s not something we are used to doing, it’s not something that a lot of people like, and we're already seeing people walking off cliffs and walking into cars and ridiculous things like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people are already used to wearing equipment on their torsos, everything from backpacks to baby carriers. And, as Leonard points out, the back offers plenty of real estate for sensory input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, by the time I am done at SubPac, I have moved and vibrated and jumped so much that I have thoroughly sweated on all of their gear. But to Leonard, this physicality is a good thing, an indicator that SubPac is onto something that will help musicians use sound and feeling to create truly inclusive entertainment for people who can hear and those who can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an opportunity here for artists to really connect with their fan base,” he says, “to create things that literally move people, physically move people, reach out and touch people.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The SubPac device was developed for sound designers to hear low frequencies, but deaf people are using it to choreograph, dance, DJ and just enjoy music.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1475118880,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":44,"wordCount":1881},"headData":{"title":"Sound System Allows Deaf People to Experience Music Like Never Before | KQED","description":"The SubPac device was developed for sound designers to hear low frequencies, but deaf people are using it to choreograph, dance, DJ and just enjoy music.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Sound System Allows Deaf People to Experience Music Like Never Before","datePublished":"2016-08-15T17:30:23.000Z","dateModified":"2016-09-29T03:14:40.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"219070 http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/?p=219070","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2016/08/15/for-deaf-tactile-sound-system-takes-music-beyond-the-vibe/","disqusTitle":"Sound System Allows Deaf People to Experience Music Like Never Before","source":"Future of You","customPermalink":"2016/08/09/for-deaf-tactile-sound-system-takes-music-beyond-the-vibe/","nprByline":"Kara Platoni","path":"/futureofyou/219070/for-deaf-tactile-sound-system-takes-music-beyond-the-vibe","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Sean Leonard is buckling me into, essentially, a sound system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, he helps me into a rubbery, black backpack that looks, as he points out, a lot like “Batman armor.” The pack lies flat across my back.

It’s expensive, it’s loud, it’s hard to reproduce accurately across any environment,” says Leonard, who in a previous career life was a studio sound engineer for bands like U2, The Breeders and Frank Black. “So instead of having a big subwoofer, pushing lots of air, making lots of noise, being potentially affected by the environment, this gives you very accurate, high fidelity, reproducible reference points.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But deaf artists quickly joined the SubPac user base. \u003ca href=\"http://thedjlist.com/djs/robbie-wilde/info/\" target=\"_blank\">Deaf DJ Robbie Wilde\u003c/a> was an early adopter, and this spring, SubPac outfitted the guest section for deaf \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArttowOUOg4\" target=\"_blank\">Dancing with the Stars winner Nyle DiMarco\u003c/a> with seated versions of the device, so the audience could feel the beat as he danced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, SubPac has offices in Los Angeles, Toronto and at Playground Studios in San Francisco, a co-development workspace that features an indoor swing set and two-story curly slide.

During my visit to Playground, I watched the most recent \"Star Wars\" and \"Mission Impossible\" trailers while wearing the vest. This time, it felt like having a chaotic fireworks finale erupt across my back, each rumble echoing an onscreen explosion, spaceship maneuver or feat of derring-do by a spy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, Leonard offered me a go at a virtual reality game called Audioshield. Still wearing the SubPac vest and headphones, we added a VR headset and a pair of hand controllers, and dropped me into the middle of a (virtual) neon-lit arena. My task was to jump around deflecting oncoming blobs of light, catching the blue ones with my left hand and the orange ones with the right—all to the beat of Missy Elliott’s enormously bouncy \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/shaaheem/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">“WTF (Where They From),”\u003c/a> which engulfed me in the beat from both the headphones and the vest. VR labs often rely on subwoofers built into the floor or mounted under chairs to relay tactile sensations and create the illusion of “presence,” or actually being within the virtual environment. Moving floors work, but actually being shaken by the chest makes the virtual feel incredibly close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darin McFadyen, SubPac’s head of creative, who also doubles as the DJ and electronic music producer \u003ca href=\"http://freqnasty.com/\" target=\"_blank\">FreQ Nasty\u003c/a>, envisions SubPacs adding a tactile element to augmented reality. Imagine, he says, playing a game like Pokémon GO or taking an interactive tour of a museum without having to keep an eye on your phone. Instead, the pack buzzing to the left or right could cue you which way to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to wander around holding up phones to our faces,” McFadyen says. “That’s not something we are used to doing, it’s not something that a lot of people like, and we're already seeing people walking off cliffs and walking into cars and ridiculous things like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people are already used to wearing equipment on their torsos, everything from backpacks to baby carriers. And, as Leonard points out, the back offers plenty of real estate for sensory input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, by the time I am done at SubPac, I have moved and vibrated and jumped so much that I have thoroughly sweated on all of their gear. But to Leonard, this physicality is a good thing, an indicator that SubPac is onto something that will help musicians use sound and feeling to create truly inclusive entertainment for people who can hear and those who can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an opportunity here for artists to really connect with their fan base,” he says, “to create things that literally move people, physically move people, reach out and touch people.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/futureofyou/219070/for-deaf-tactile-sound-system-takes-music-beyond-the-vibe","authors":["byline_futureofyou_219070"],"series":["futureofyou_172"],"categories":["futureofyou_1063"],"tags":["futureofyou_488","futureofyou_1005","futureofyou_1004"],"featImg":"futureofyou_219956","label":"source_futureofyou_219070"},"futureofyou_179666":{"type":"posts","id":"futureofyou_179666","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"futureofyou","id":"179666","score":null,"sort":[1470358857000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"from-the-olympics-to-the-nfl-the-future-of-training-is-wearable-tech","title":"Wearable Tech Gives Olympic Athletes a Boost","publishDate":1470358857,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Contributor | KQED Future of You | KQED Science","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Every year at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.augmentedworldexpo.com/\">Augmented World Expo in Santa Clara\u003c/a>, makers of wearable gadgetry gather to debut prototypes and debate the future of bionic living.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We are very, very, very fast approaching the superhero stage.' \u003ccite>Mounir Zok, U.S. Olympic Committee\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>This year, Mounir Zok, the director of technology and innovation for the U.S. Olympic Committee, predicted that wearable sensors will soon be just as important to elite players as their designer athletic shoes.

Glasses for cyclists that deliver cadence, speed and heart rate data directly into their field of view.

This gives the coach a kind of dashboard, displaying each team member’s stats as well as their historical performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zok believes that being able to match their metrics to their visceral experience will help athletes learn faster. If an athlete knows, for example, the ideal angle at which her body should enter the water or the perfect rotational speed for her spin, she can check her stats after each dive, or dismount, and match the data against how the move felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In gymnastics, said Zok, “we have almost come up with a digital code of what makes the gold medal,” a set of figures that describes a perfect 10 performance. “Imagine having that milestone for each and every Olympic athlete, specifically when they are very young, so that they have that fixed North Star.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wearable Tech is Changing the NFL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olympians aren’t the only elite athletes trying out wearable sensors. Dan Waters of San Jose-based Zebra Technologies spoke about the tracking devices NFL players wore during the 2015 season, which relayed to their coaches real-time information about their location, speed and distance traveled.

This, he said, could help coaches prevent injuries. Suppose, said Waters, “you have a wide receiver who has already run 6 miles in a game. Well, it might be good to rest that player, for example, before they pull a hamstring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waters’ company has also worked with Big 10, Pac 12 and Southeastern Conference schools. At the moment, NFL teams have elected to receive only their own players’ data, but Waters points out that these measurements, if shared, could ultimately effect recruiting, “allowing for the more thorough and efficient identification of player alignment and tendencies; both of which will contribute greatly to scouting and coaching efforts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Zok credits the proliferation of smartphones with driving down the cost of parts—accelerometers, magnetometers, GPS devices—and enabling today’s boom in wearable sports technology. And improvements in transmission range has allowed sports scientists to finally ditch the cables that once attached computer to electrode.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Next Gen Smart Gear\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next wave of wearables will be smaller still, as the industry moves away from hard plastic sensors like heart rate monitors that strap to the chest or smart bands that encircle the wrist. Sports gear will likely make use of ever more lightweight “smart tattoos,” or flexible electronics that stick on like bandages, and “smart clothing” that has conductive or sensing fibers woven directly into the fabric.

This gives the coach a kind of dashboard, displaying each team member’s stats as well as their historical performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zok believes that being able to match their metrics to their visceral experience will help athletes learn faster. If an athlete knows, for example, the ideal angle at which her body should enter the water or the perfect rotational speed for her spin, she can check her stats after each dive, or dismount, and match the data against how the move felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In gymnastics, said Zok, “we have almost come up with a digital code of what makes the gold medal,” a set of figures that describes a perfect 10 performance. “Imagine having that milestone for each and every Olympic athlete, specifically when they are very young, so that they have that fixed North Star.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wearable Tech is Changing the NFL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olympians aren’t the only elite athletes trying out wearable sensors. Dan Waters of San Jose-based Zebra Technologies spoke about the tracking devices NFL players wore during the 2015 season, which relayed to their coaches real-time information about their location, speed and distance traveled.

This, he said, could help coaches prevent injuries. Suppose, said Waters, “you have a wide receiver who has already run 6 miles in a game. Well, it might be good to rest that player, for example, before they pull a hamstring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waters’ company has also worked with Big 10, Pac 12 and Southeastern Conference schools. At the moment, NFL teams have elected to receive only their own players’ data, but Waters points out that these measurements, if shared, could ultimately effect recruiting, “allowing for the more thorough and efficient identification of player alignment and tendencies; both of which will contribute greatly to scouting and coaching efforts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Zok credits the proliferation of smartphones with driving down the cost of parts—accelerometers, magnetometers, GPS devices—and enabling today’s boom in wearable sports technology.

This year you can get tech savvy, with a plethora of new wearables.

Products that just track behaviors will ultimately fail; those most likely to succeed will be devices that inspire action and help users make positive change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that in mind, here’s our list of inspiring and lesser-known devices for a wide range of people on your gift list.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Dash: Smart Headphones\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who wants them:\u003c/strong> Your favorite runner and/or fist bumper\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77135\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-77135\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-800x470.jpg\" alt=\"The Dash aren’t headphones, they’re “hearables.”\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-800x470.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-400x235.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-1180x693.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-960x564.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Dash aren’t headphones, they’re “hearables.” \u003ccite>(Bragi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why they’re cool:\u003c/strong> These wireless headphones from Bragi are still under pre-order, but athletes and music lovers will be running for this three-in-one “hearable:” a music player, a fitness tracker and a touchpad on the earpiece that allows you to control the audio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earbuds connect to your phone via Bluetooth for audio streaming and have 3.5 GB of storage for music or podcasts, with three hours of battery life.

I have identified five practices clinicians should be pursuing to keep pace with today’s innovations, and that patients should be demanding from their doctors:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Digital Integration\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Today, streams of data are swirling around us. There’s data streaming from your FitBit or Apple Watch, there are notes from your recent doctor’s visit, and there are past medical records. But too few doctors are integrating this data and helping you access it. Forward-thinking doctors are not only making it simpler for you to get your data but also interacting with patients through online “platforms,” or patient portals. These shouldn’t be complicated electronic health records; the best platforms are as intuitive as your mobile banking app. They allow patients to track their medical records and communicate with their doctor through secure email or chat. Keeping all this information in one place helps patients take control over their data and, more importantly, spot important personal health trends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Analyzing More Data, Not Less\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, many doctors still shun the idea that more data is better—often for logical reasons like the rate of false-positives, the cost of diagnostics or their lack of knowledge about how the data could be useful. These providers may be wary of genetic testing, for example, because the information may cause unnecessary stress. They may be cautious about quantifying the microbiome because the analytics systems have not been perfected. But costs are coming down rapidly for new types of diagnostics, and analytics are quickly becoming elegant enough to weed out the false alarms and spot patterns in the chaos. Many people find that knowing about a genetic marker or a certain biometric pattern can help them better understand their health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Functional Medicine \u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>The concept of “functional medicine” is something Dr. Berzin is executing with her health services at Parsley Health. It’s the simple idea that doctors should be focused on disease prevention rather than triaging patients after they have already become ill. This concept is not just a grassroots movement. Cleveland Clinic, one of the nation’s largest healthcare and research centers, recently founded a \u003ca href=\"http://my.clevelandclinic.org/services/center-for-functional-medicine\">Center for Functional Medicine\u003c/a>. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.functionalmedicine.org/files/library/evidence.pdf\">Research shows\u003c/a> people live longer, healthier lives when they integrate meditation, exercise and proper diet—not just take medications. The best practitioners are treating you holistically, as your doctor and your life coach, helping you achieve all health goals, whether they're traditionally “medical,” or fall under the purview of emotional and lifestyle support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Care Anywhere\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Most of your health happens outside the hospital, as you’re living life. Tragically, a patient’s first experience with the healthcare system is usually after it’s too late—after a stroke, hypoglycemic attack or late-stage cancer, for example. “We need to shift the focus of care out of the hospital and into the community,” Dr. Berzin says. A savvy doctor should be able to bring care into your home, instead of making you trek to a hospital or clinic. Sometimes, they can do this via telemedicine solutions like video conferencing. Harkening back to the mid-19th century, a new brand of doctors is out making house calls. A company called \u003ca href=\"https://www.medicast.com/\">Medicast\u003c/a> is helping doctors and hospitals coordinate the logistics of house visits. Companies like \u003ca href=\"http://carepredict.com/\">CarePredict\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.mylively.com/\">Lively\u003c/a> are developing devices that can track patients’ health in the home. \u003cem>(Disclaimer: Medicast and CarePredict are StartUp Health portfolio companies.)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Team-Based Care\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Your doctor shouldn’t be the only person directly involved in your care. Instead, you could have an entire team of experts, including patient advocates, nurses, wellness coaches, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nutritionist, lifestyle coaches and financial advisors. Instead of bombarding you with advice separately, this team comes together to craft a care plan that’s specifically suited to you. Most importantly YOU should be the key member of the team.

I have identified five practices clinicians should be pursuing to keep pace with today’s innovations, and that patients should be demanding from their doctors:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Digital Integration\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Today, streams of data are swirling around us. There’s data streaming from your FitBit or Apple Watch, there are notes from your recent doctor’s visit, and there are past medical records. But too few doctors are integrating this data and helping you access it. Forward-thinking doctors are not only making it simpler for you to get your data but also interacting with patients through online “platforms,” or patient portals. These shouldn’t be complicated electronic health records; the best platforms are as intuitive as your mobile banking app. They allow patients to track their medical records and communicate with their doctor through secure email or chat. Keeping all this information in one place helps patients take control over their data and, more importantly, spot important personal health trends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Analyzing More Data, Not Less\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, many doctors still shun the idea that more data is better—often for logical reasons like the rate of false-positives, the cost of diagnostics or their lack of knowledge about how the data could be useful. These providers may be wary of genetic testing, for example, because the information may cause unnecessary stress. They may be cautious about quantifying the microbiome because the analytics systems have not been perfected. But costs are coming down rapidly for new types of diagnostics, and analytics are quickly becoming elegant enough to weed out the false alarms and spot patterns in the chaos. Many people find that knowing about a genetic marker or a certain biometric pattern can help them better understand their health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Functional Medicine \u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>The concept of “functional medicine” is something Dr. Berzin is executing with her health services at Parsley Health. It’s the simple idea that doctors should be focused on disease prevention rather than triaging patients after they have already become ill. This concept is not just a grassroots movement. Cleveland Clinic, one of the nation’s largest healthcare and research centers, recently founded a \u003ca href=\"http://my.clevelandclinic.org/services/center-for-functional-medicine\">Center for Functional Medicine\u003c/a>. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.functionalmedicine.org/files/library/evidence.pdf\">Research shows\u003c/a> people live longer, healthier lives when they integrate meditation, exercise and proper diet—not just take medications. The best practitioners are treating you holistically, as your doctor and your life coach, helping you achieve all health goals, whether they're traditionally “medical,” or fall under the purview of emotional and lifestyle support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Care Anywhere\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Most of your health happens outside the hospital, as you’re living life. Tragically, a patient’s first experience with the healthcare system is usually after it’s too late—after a stroke, hypoglycemic attack or late-stage cancer, for example. “We need to shift the focus of care out of the hospital and into the community,” Dr. Berzin says. A savvy doctor should be able to bring care into your home, instead of making you trek to a hospital or clinic. Sometimes, they can do this via telemedicine solutions like video conferencing. Harkening back to the mid-19th century, a new brand of doctors is out making house calls. A company called \u003ca href=\"https://www.medicast.com/\">Medicast\u003c/a> is helping doctors and hospitals coordinate the logistics of house visits. Companies like \u003ca href=\"http://carepredict.com/\">CarePredict\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.mylively.com/\">Lively\u003c/a> are developing devices that can track patients’ health in the home. \u003cem>(Disclaimer: Medicast and CarePredict are StartUp Health portfolio companies.)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Team-Based Care\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>Your doctor shouldn’t be the only person directly involved in your care. Instead, you could have an entire team of experts, including patient advocates, nurses, wellness coaches, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nutritionist, lifestyle coaches and financial advisors. Instead of bombarding you with advice separately, this team comes together to craft a care plan that’s specifically suited to you. Most importantly YOU should be the key member of the team.

Then it creates a map of your behavior patterns. When it notices significant changes that indicate perinatal depression or anxiety, the app notifies your care provider who can then reach out with support. In addition, Ginger.io makes it easy for women who are pregnant or recently had a baby to create a log of their behavior and emotions, so they have tangible data to share with during doctor visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company emerged out of the MIT Media Lab in 2010 with the broad goal of using smartphones to improve mental health care.

Ginger.io triggered an alert to her doctor, noting elevated symptoms of depression. Kincler says when the doctor reached out, the woman said she had no idea it would be so hard and she was done being pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kincler said the doctor believed the woman was at risk for self-harm, and recommended she restart her antidepressants. But the following week, Ginger.io sent another alert. A triage nurse followed up and found the woman had not restarted her meds. The doctor then followed up again to reinforce the safety of taking the medication, and the woman was able to resume treatment and manage her symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This story highlights the fact that visits alone don't always provide the best venue to have those discussions with the patients,” Kincler said. “The real power behind our tool is the ability to dig deep into issues, track improvement, and connect dots between visits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse Birdie Gunyon Meyer backs that up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many, many of our care providers are not asking women how they are doing emotionally,” said Meyer, coordinator of the Perinatal Mood Disorders Program at Indiana University Health, and the former President of Postpartum Support International. “They are so busy and only have so much time to see each patient. Most of our OB care providers’ offices still do not screen because it is time-consuming, and so women just don’t know where to go or who to call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Meyer is skeptical that an app would be able to bridge this communication gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Care providers are very busy, and so while the app might provide great, useful information, I wonder if they would actually use it?” she said. “And many women may still be reluctant to tell the truth because they do not want to look bad to their OB/GYN. If the care provider usually doesn’t ask how they are doing, they may not feel safe saying anything. Even if they do, its important to make sure women are connected with proper social support, not just medication.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In-App Intimacy \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mental health of pregnant women and new moms is an extremely sensitive issue.

Could this information be used in an unwarranted way, for example, to alert Child Protective Services, or to advertise pharmaceuticals?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kincler said Ginger.io treats patient data like a medical record, encrypting it and sharing it only with care providers. Users can also ask Ginger.io to delete their data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being pregnant and having a newborn can be stressful. Feeling depressed or anxious can be stressful. Keeping secrets can be stressful. With perinatal mood disorders, all three of these stresses can coalesce into one, unbearable burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meyer says a key part of alleviating this burden is sharing one simple message: You are not alone.

The perinatal depression app is intended to help users and health care providers identify the difference between normal mood fluctuations and anxieties, and times when intervention and/or treatment is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The app collects sensor data and self-reported information for factors such as how much you move around, eat, sleep and talk with people. Then it creates a map of your behavior patterns. When it notices significant changes that indicate perinatal depression or anxiety, the app notifies your care provider who can then reach out with support. In addition, Ginger.io makes it easy for women who are pregnant or recently had a baby to create a log of their behavior and emotions, so they have tangible data to share with during doctor visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company emerged out of the MIT Media Lab in 2010 with the broad goal of using smartphones to improve mental health care. It has since formed partnerships with more than 30 institutions across the country, including eight of the top academic medical centers in the U.S..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginger.io’s perinatal depression program is currently being piloted with three major health systems -- Novant Health in North Carolina, the University of Pennsylvania and a California system the company hasn’t named.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Identifying Perinatal Depression\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So often things fall through the cracks,” said Naomi Kincler, Ginger.io’s Head of Customer Success who helped implement the program at Novant. “Even in pregnancy, when you are coming in regularly for visits, a lot that can still happen in between, and the usual visit with a doctor is no more than 15 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13081\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 504px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/07/cdc-chart.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-13081\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/07/cdc-chart.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\" width=\"504\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/07/cdc-chart.jpg 728w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2015/07/cdc-chart-400x162.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kincler shared the story of a patient with a history of depression, who stopped taking her antidepressant for fear it would harm the baby. Ginger.io triggered an alert to her doctor, noting elevated symptoms of depression. Kincler says when the doctor reached out, the woman said she had no idea it would be so hard and she was done being pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kincler said the doctor believed the woman was at risk for self-harm, and recommended she restart her antidepressants. But the following week, Ginger.io sent another alert. A triage nurse followed up and found the woman had not restarted her meds. The doctor then followed up again to reinforce the safety of taking the medication, and the woman was able to resume treatment and manage her symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This story highlights the fact that visits alone don't always provide the best venue to have those discussions with the patients,” Kincler said. “The real power behind our tool is the ability to dig deep into issues, track improvement, and connect dots between visits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse Birdie Gunyon Meyer backs that up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many, many of our care providers are not asking women how they are doing emotionally,” said Meyer, coordinator of the Perinatal Mood Disorders Program at Indiana University Health, and the former President of Postpartum Support International. “They are so busy and only have so much time to see each patient. Most of our OB care providers’ offices still do not screen because it is time-consuming, and so women just don’t know where to go or who to call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Meyer is skeptical that an app would be able to bridge this communication gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Care providers are very busy, and so while the app might provide great, useful information, I wonder if they would actually use it?” she said. “And many women may still be reluctant to tell the truth because they do not want to look bad to their OB/GYN. If the care provider usually doesn’t ask how they are doing, they may not feel safe saying anything. Even if they do, its important to make sure women are connected with proper social support, not just medication.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In-App Intimacy \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mental health of pregnant women and new moms is an extremely sensitive issue. Meyer said many women may feel uncomfortable sharing this kind of information with an app. What if the data fell into the wrong hands? Could this information be used in an unwarranted way, for example, to alert Child Protective Services, or to advertise pharmaceuticals?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kincler said Ginger.io treats patient data like a medical record, encrypting it and sharing it only with care providers. Users can also ask Ginger.io to delete their data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being pregnant and having a newborn can be stressful. Feeling depressed or anxious can be stressful. Keeping secrets can be stressful. With perinatal mood disorders, all three of these stresses can coalesce into one, unbearable burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meyer says a key part of alleviating this burden is sharing one simple message: You are not alone. You are not to blame.
