Quotes

• “The advance I’m most excited about right now is a growing, nascent ability to help people understand, using smartphone and wearable sensor data and AI/machine learning, what things in life are most impacting their personal mood, stress, and health.”
• “If you’re doing little things that are gradually making you feel worse, and you don’t notice them (because they’re each usually pretty minor) then gradually they can accumulate into feeling stressed and depressed. In the future, our smartphone will give us personalized mood and health forecasts—AND—unlike a weather forecast, it will also give us insights into how we can “change the mood weather tomorrow.””
• “For example, your mood might be forecast to be 40% happier and your stress 30% less if you go to bed by 10 tonight, wake up at the usual time, and take time to connect with a friend today. Such small adjustments and measures have the potential to become highly accurate with training on enough data, and help people take small steps that overall improve their health.”
• “Sleep, exercise, prayer, and reading new things.”
