  • Rutkin looks at a scheme to uncover medical secrets in the numbers of everyday life. There is life in data, if people know how where to look: the number of steps from their apartment to the coffee shop, the cost of a latte, the levels of pollution in the October air they're breathing in. As they move through the world, they leave thousands of other signals behind them that speak volumes about their health and well-being. Now, a new project in New York City will gather and process those signals on an unprecedented scale. The ambitious scheme, named the Kavli HUMAN Project, will track every last scrap of data generated by 10,000 New Yorkers
