From Calories to Sleep Cycles: What the Real-Time Web Means for Your Health
How many calories have you ingested since last night at 9:35 pm? How many steps have you taken in the last 20 minutes? How many calories did those steps burn? What's your heart rate right now? How many hours of sleep did you really get last night? You don't know?

Web 2.0 Meets Medicine: Focused on Communication
Bertalan Meskó from the excellent ScienceRoll blog has uploaded a presentation he gave recently at the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conference. The presentation, embedded below, is a great overview of how the Web is being utilized in the medical profession.

Capturing Structured Data With an AIR App: Acesis Goes to DEMO
One of the projects I've been most intrigued with here at DEMO is Acesis, a clinical data capture service that does two things of interest to me: it makes structured data collection simple and it brings Adobe's Rich Internet Application platforms Flex and AIR into the enterprise.
