Killer Apps for Healthy Living

Hello QSers!
While I admit to visiting over here for the planning an event, the intersection between our efforts at Health 2.0 NYC and QS is great. We have a KA4HL series we do every few months and in the next one we wanted to emphasize design and data visualization so we are looking for great examples of same. If you have suggestions for great examples or speakers for our next event please advise.

Our meetup group site is www.health20nyc.com if you are interested in attending an event.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex, here are some resources for you.

QS tools
Many QS data capture devices use data visualizations as part of the service that they wrap around their device. Check out Fitbit, Zeo, Withings, Up and Nike+ among others.
