Carpe Data!

This video blew my mind.  The medical world has figured it out.  The days of the broad spectrum treatment are gone.  They are using constant information to create individual health plans for people.  The iDoctor says it best just after minute 8, "... It's treating all human beings the same.  That is crazy, when each of us are truly unique in every way..." "Seize the data..." "Its understanding you, which we have never really done before."  
When will we start to look at students this way?  When will we be seizing the data and shape education for all those unique students we have?   This kind of medicine is PROACTIVELY differentiated to the the individual.  It is not waiting for the patient to get sick.  It is taking a person at their current health and trying to make them healthier.  This kind of thinking needs to be implemented at the beginning of every unit of study in a school.  

Carpe Data!
