Gapminder - a must see! (Edward Tufte would be proud)

Posted by Z on November 18th, 2007 -

Gapminder - Gapminder World 2006 - my sister sent me a link to a video that talked about this technology/effort.   You can view the video on YouTube, but should check out the technology yourself. As their website states, they are a non-profit venture for development and provision of free software that visualise human development.  If only healthcare companies would sign up for something like this - can you imagine connecting the 5 largest healthcare insurers databases to some tool like this?  or better yet - all of the RHIO’s that will be out there?  Very cool stuff.
