“De plus en plus de patients arrivent à la consultation en ayant effectué une recherche préalable sur Internet. Dans le cabinet du médecin, ces personnes posent plus de questions et peuvent se montrer surpris, voire inquiets, si les pistes étiologiques et thérapeutiques qu’ils ont explorées ne sont pas abordées.

The latest generation of smartphones are increasingly viewed as handheld computers rather than as phones, due to their powerful on-board computing capability, capacious memories, large screens and open operating systems that encourage application development. This paper provides a brief state-of-the-art overview of health and healthcare smartphone apps (applications) on the market today, including emerging trends and market uptake. Platforms available today include Android, Apple iOS, RIM BlackBerry, Symbian, and Windows (Windows Mobile 6.x and the emerging Windows Phone 7 platform). The paper covers apps targeting both laypersons/patients and healthcare professionals in various scenarios, e.g., health, fitness and lifestyle education and management apps; ambient assisted living apps; continuing professional education tools; and apps for public health surveillance.

Electronic personal health records (ePHRs) can potentially maximize access and coordination of health information and improve patient/clinician collaboration, patient self-management, and health outcomes. Most ePHRs are designed by vendors, physicians, and other proprietary partners and have neglected the patient perspective. This study sought to incorporate patient feedback into an existing ePHR system. Patients participated in a semistructured interview after one to two weeks of using an ePHR. Interviews addressed strengths and weaknesses of the PHR.

“Participatory medicine, the idea of a real conversation between doctors and patients, was one of the most fascinating concepts discussed during the “provider edition” of Meet the Bloggers at HIMSS11. It will become an integral function to the continuum of care, not only used by patients and providers, but also caregivers and other healthcare professionals.

Patient organizations aim to improve the quality of life for people and their families who are affected by certain health conditions. Even though there has been a sharp rise in the demands on health systems during the last few decades, these systems have benefited from technological advances and the increasingly active role of users in managing their own health. The authors look at the evolution of patient associations into virtual health communities as a logical step in the development of communities of patients, families, and professionals who benefit from Web 2.0, and how it meets their needs regarding obtaining and sharing information, social support, and building relationships.

“One of the most intriguing movements in the healthcare industry today is participatory medicine. Participatory medicine holds a lot of promise and seems to be gaining momentum among both patients and healthcare professionals. Nevertheless, participatory medicine is far from the standard of care, and one of the biggest barriers is actually getting patients interested in their own health.

“During National Health IT week (June 14-18), most of the emphasis will be on electronic health records (EHR), insurance and billing systems which will have a delayed and only indirect effect on consumers’ health and perceptions of healthcare reform. The Obama administration is spending tens of billions of dollars on health information technology (HIT) yet it is nearly impossible for consumers to locate and use government health information because it is scattered across dozens of uncoordinated web sites produced by different agencies.
