HHS Technology Chief Todd Park Talks with Opensource.com

If you think you have an innovative or entrepreneurial spirit and are interested in data, health, and technology, then join us for an opensource.com Open Your World Forum webcast with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Todd Park. Park will speak about the power of open data for improving health.

Todd's position with HHS was created by the Obama administration as a change agent. And he is taking that role seriously.

Todd is passionate about improving health. To prove it, he's taken the culture of HHS toward one of data liberation, of openness, and of government 2.0. He wants everyone to understand how open data can be harnessed to improve the health of the country. Taking a page out of the Tim O'Reilly playbook, Todd has set up a public and private collaboration where government serves as a platform for open data and the community of individuals and companies are the creators.
