GOOD Transparency on World Health | VizWorld.com GOOD magazine has a great new infographic (”Transparency”) online visualizing various statistics about Health in various nations. Every country in the world approaches health care differently, but the end goal is the same: Keep citizens as healthy as possible at the lowest cost … This is a look at 12 countries around the world that examines how far the money they spend on health care goes toward affecting the health of their citizens. It’s a great graphic showing life expancy, various mortality numbers (per 100k population), and cost per capita on healthcare.  It’s a great way of understanding why President Obama is looking to Canada and Australia for ideas on US Health Care Reform.  However, much data is still missing, particularly on how much money is spent on cutting-edge, experimental, or research treatments.

Among the many highlights of the Smarter Cities summit we hosted in New York City October 1 and 2, Dr. Denis Cortese’s presentation ranks among the top. As the CEO of the highly esteemed Mayo Clinic, Dr. Cortese has a unique perspective on the state of health care in the United States. Given the prominence of the issue in public debate, I wish there were some way to mandate that every citizen watch his very lucid, very pragmatic 18-minute conversation on how to design a better health care system.

The initiative is using advanced IBM analytics technology to scan participants’ input to build a public blueprint for Smarter Cities. The output will be available to cities and grass-roots groups to use as a foundation for projects to make urban centers smarter via a Smarter Cities Open Model. IBM will also leverage this open model via the IBM Business Analytics Center in New York and the other centers around the world.
