This blog’s been up and running in various guises for over seven years since starting it in April 2005. It’s been a massive help to my career through the years and helped bag me a few jobs, speaking gigs and clients along the way. Being one of the first in an industry has its benefits.

Thing is, so much has changed in the last seven years that there are many new and exciting directions to take in digital. One that has caught my particular attention in the last six months is the disruption that technology and big data is playing on health and fitness.

We’ve seen technology disrupt numerous industries through the years including media, marketing, PR, publishing among others. Now it’s health’s turn thanks to the perfect storm of:

• Mobile computers
• Sensors
• Apps
• Big data
• Data visualization
• Social networking

That’s why I’ve started blogging over at Bionic.ly, a new blog of mine which aims to track and cover this, dare I say it, revolution. I use the definition of ‘bionic’ loosely to mean using technology to enhance human performance.

I’m not the only one either. My colleagues Drew Benvie (bodydata.co.uk) and David Clare (onemorelifehack.com) have done the same.

Go check them out.
