Looking at the social pulse of an individual can determine their health. When her father died, his labs and imaging studies were all completely normal, but there were changes. He stopped sent fewer emails, used his smartphone less, and he didn't surf the web anymore. All these activities leave a digital footprint known as your social pulse. We can use this information in health care, giving people back their small data.
