Add to iTunesRWW Live: Health 2.0
ReadWriteWeb has been tracking the so-called ‘health 2.0′ trend for some time now. We’ve covered the top health web apps, the trends to watch in health 2.0, and the latest industry stats. And this morning we published a Health 2.0 update.
In this week’s episode of RWW Live, the ReadWriteWeb authors get together with a number of industry experts to discuss how the Web is changing health care. The industry experts include:
- Scott Shreeve, MD, from Crossover Healthcare. Dr. Shreeve is a board certified Emergency Medicine physician and was a co-founder of Medsphere Systems Corporation, the first open source electronic health record for the healthcare enterprise.
- Abe Lederman, President and CEO of Deep Web Technologies. He has helped design several major search engines in health notably science.gov and worldwidescience.org and the new search engine Mednar.
- Robert Shelton, Co-Founder, Chairman & CEO of Private Access, a suite of web-based applications that “solve the significant privacy hurdle that the medical community faces when attempting to recruit subjects for clinical trials and share confidential records in pursuit of faster diagnoses and better treatments for diseases and chronic illnesses.”
- Sramana Mitra, author of the book Entrepreneur Journeys, who in her Forbes column has been calling for Internet entrepreneurs to tackle the health care industry.
- Malcolm Costello, SVP Marketing and Strategic Relations at Kryptiq, a provider of connectivity solutions for healthcare - for information sharing among healthcare professionals, their colleagues, and patients.
- Steven Krein, CEO and CO-founder of OrganizedWisdom, a human-powered, doctor-guided search service for health.

This was a fascinating discussion. I found Abe Lederman’s comments about the role search can play in aggregating the enormous amount of content being produced on Health 2.0 sites very astute and second Robert Shelton’s example of Sermo as the kind of site that is producing substantive exchanges that firms like Lederman’s DeepWeb Technologies probably could render searchable, to the great benefit of multiple audiences.

The recommendation of starting with search for both information and applications was endorsed. Therefore, encouraging and assisting consumers and healthcare providers to formulate effective queries is very helpful. Google.com search engine has made enormous improvements in this area.

How odd.. One of the guests “Richard from Private Access” told a story about how 10 years ago his child was diagnosed prenatally with a condition and he used Google to search for the condition.
Google wasn’t even incorporated until September 4, 1998.
Another example was how “patients like me” is the new model. It has at most 15,000 people who belong out of a population of 325 million? I don’t want to have to determine if someone posting on a social network is really just a drug rep now read sample populations of “one” and somehow over-ride my doctor’s advice.
The average (consumer/patient) has an 8th grade education and I really don’t think they know more then a doctor with a graduate degree. There is nothing that will implode this faster then over-hyping and using early adopters as the example of what people want or need.
Why for example do 20% of the population smoke when they know the consequences? Do you honestly think that something online will change their behavior? Do people who have full access to financial records online make better financial decisions as a result of that information? Nope.
