2. Background This is more work since submitting the Health Datapalooza IV presentation and The Sanofi US 2013 Data Design Diabetes Innovation Challenge – Prove It! So how would one search, select, and organize an ecosystem of diabetes data to harness it? – The use of the word "harness" here must be as a verb meaning "to capture, control or put to use" and that is what I am trying to do To capture, control, or put to use, diabetes data, one can: Google Search, Subject Matter Knowledge Search, Ask Experts, etc. I decided to first get an example of these three types of data: epidemiologic, public health, and clinical data. The CDC Diabetes Atlas has county and state data that can be mapped: – http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/atlas/ http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/atlas/ This provided a good start of finding epidemiologic, public health, and clinical data for a diabetes data ecosystem. 2
