What's Your Hidden Superpower? Ask AI the Right Way.

Person and AI Conversing

A deeper look at what surfaced when I asked ChatGPT to assess strengths, weaknesses, and why the results stood out.

A casual question—What’s my hidden superpower?—led to one of the more insightful AI interactions I’ve had. What started as a moment of curiosity turned into a deeper conversation about how we ask questions, how AI responds, and what makes some exchanges far more productive than others.

Why I Took Medical Courses to Strengthen My Data Skills

Abstract

This post explores how taking medical and healthcare-focused courses strengthened my data analysis and visualization skills. By engaging with real-world clinical content, I improved how I interpret, structure, and present complex health data — especially in tools like Tableau and Python.

Key Points

  • Medical courses provided valuable context for analyzing health data more accurately.
  • Exposure to clinical reasoning improved how I structure data visualizations.
  • CME and university-level content offered insights into data use in real-world healthcare.
  • Visualizing CGM data became a way to explore advanced design techniques.
  • Courses helped connect medical insight with technical skill development.

How an Hour-by-Hour View Transforms Time in Range Insights

Time in Range by Hour

A new way to view CGM data that focuses on patterns, not perfection.

Abstract

This post explores how visualizing continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data by hour—rather than by day—reveals deeper insights into when glucose levels shift. By replacing traditional Time in Range charts with dynamic, time-specific visualizations, this approach emphasizes understanding over judgment. It highlights patterns like post-meal spikes and overnight stability, making glucose data more actionable and emotionally neutral.

Key Points

  • Hourly View Adds Context: Reveals when glucose levels go out of range, not just how often.
  • Flexible Range Selection: Users can toggle between 70–180 mg/dL and 70–140 mg/dL thresholds.
  • Reframed Visual Cues: Reversed green-blue color scale avoids framing results as good or bad.
  • Actionable Patterns: Shows consistent overnight control and post-meal variability.
  • Emphasis on Exploration: Focuses on patterns and possibilities, not compliance.
  • Technical Approach: Uses Tableau calculated fields for hourly binning and dynamic formatting.

The 5K@ADA is sponsored by Novo Nordisk and the American Diabetes Association (ADA). It takes place in conjunction with the ADA annual conference.

I do the walk on the treadmill at the gym. This way I can have my earbuds in, easily track my progress and not have any interruptions.

Upload your race time any time between the race start and end dates.
