Free at Last, Free at Last — “Health 2.0″ is Free at Last!
Bravo, cheers and congratulations to fellow blogger and consultant Matthew Holt. In a stroke of defiance and brilliance, he has trademarked the term “Health 2.0” and made it available for all to use (presumably except for events that might be confused with his upcoming Health 2.0 conference). From The Health Care Blog:
Yes I’ve trademarked Health2.0. No, I will not stop anyone using it. I’ll be giving control over the trademark to the collective advisory board for the Health2.0 Conference. All I want […]
Disease Management Going Mobile & Retail: QUALCOMM’s Health Care MVNO
An article in Wireless Week announces the creation of a new species: a health care MVNO named LifeComm. LifeComm promises to move disease management, wellness, and fitness into new territories.
What is a MVNO?
More acronyms! What is a MVNO? A Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) is a mobile operator that does not own its own spectrum and usually does not have its own network infrastructure. Instead, MVNOs have business arrangements with traditional mobile operators to buy minutes of use (MOU) for sale to their […]
Evidence for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM): The Glass is More than Half Full
Over the years, there have been a number of meta-analyses examining hundreds of studies relating to effectiveness of RPM. The latest one of these is Systematic Review of Home Telemonitoring for Chronic Diseases: The Evidence Base, published in the May/June 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA).
My colleague Tim Gee, respected fellow blogger and world renowned connectologist, summarizes this latest study under the headline “Impact of Remote Monitoring Still Inconclusive”.
Tim, I’m concerned that folks might draw […]

Five Lingering Questions Holding Back Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Adoption
Technology adoption often takes longer than expected, and remote patient monitoring (RPM) is no exception. More specifically, I’m referring to multiparameter RPM of patient vital signs. There are currently over 25 companies with multiparameter RPM offerings, including Philips, Honeywell HomMed, Health Hero, ViTel Net, and many others.
I am a big believer in RPM technology — it WILL revolutionize delivery of health care.
However, I’m also a realist. Consider the following questions a collective “voice-of-the-customer” from my six years working in this […]

Google Gets It: Personal Health Information is Really Complex
I give Adam a lot of credit for this posting:
He acknowledges that health care is really complicated
He understands the dangers — that providing less than perfect information has the possibility of causing harm
He doesn’t claim to have all the answers
He asks for input
Many have been speculating about Google’s entry into health care. Read Jeff […]
Porter/Teisberg JAMA Article: Out-of-the-Box or Out-of-Touch?
“In theory, there is no difference between theory and reality. In reality, there is.” Yogi Bera
Out-of-the-box thinking is good; out-of-touch thinking is not. Dr. Porter and Teisberg’s (PT’s) recent article in JAMA “How Physicians Can Change the Future of Health Care” is disappointing, unrealistic and dangerous.
Disappointing: Please Answer the Challenges About Why Your Theory isn’t Workable
Unrealistic: Money Does Matter a Lot
Dangerous: Measuring Process in Health Care Does Add Value
What’s so seductive about their writing is that about 90% […]
