On the Official Google Blog, Adam Bosworth gives us a summary and the full text of his presentation to AMIA on “Putting Health Into Patient’s Hands – Consumerism in Health Care.” He structured the talk around discovery (search), action (personalize services – Health URL), and community (groups organized around conditions). He refers to PHW, Personal Health and Wellness Data, as something patients should own and share with providers selectively. He also refers to how “Consumers can organize into communities which are protected from inappropriate commercial exploitation” while rating their providers and retaining some anonymity.
He concludes with how to make this a reality – more on this later.
Does this mean that his vision is solidifying and will be released as a beta soon?
