“A few nights ago, I was honored to give a keynote at the second Health 2.0 Northeast conference held right here in our Cambridge, MA backyard. It’s exciting to see old friends and new emerging start-ups coming together to try and make a dent in the $2 trillion industry that is healthcare in the U.S. In the world of Health 2.0, we have a lot of great opportunities to impact healthcare in a positive way, including shaking things up and putting patients back at the center. With so many new and promising companies emerging in the space (many in attendance at the Boston event), we have to start thinking about what happens next. How can we really make change, and what changes need to be made?”

“U ziet ons vaker schrijven over de inzet van nieuwe media in de zorg. We doen dit in navolging van ontwikkelen in “de rest” van de maatschappij waarin de manier van communiceren aan het veranderen is. Korter, sneller, oppervlakkiger. In het laatste schuilt natuurlijk een gevaar, we moeten dus alert blijven op het doorslaan van deze maatschappelijke ontwikkeling daar dit niet alleen een on-line verschijnsel is.”
