I'm a public servent who thinks he's an entrepreneur. My "startup" is Pillbox, an open government initiative, hacking public health data and turning government into a platform for health innovation. The White House called it "a fantastic and game-changing idea." If you want to get technical, I'm the project manager for Pillbox, a U.S. National Library of Medicine patient-safety initiative. Partnering with the FDA, Pillbox is restructuring and opening drug labeling data and adding high-resolution medication images to create a platform for innovation, empowering communities to develop applications and resources that solve challenges related to drug identification and reference. I'm also the co-chair of the National Library of Medicine’s Mobile Guidance and Social Media Engagement committees. Known as a technology entrepreneur in government, I'm a frequent speaker on the subjects of open government, health data innovation, and social media use by public health agencies. I've lectured at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, and Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. My work has been profiled on PBS NewsHour, CNN Health, as well as numerous government and technology magazines and blogs.
