Health 2.0 Sites with Prospects
March 12, 2008
From a venture capitalist viewpoint six firms are featured that can potentially “reinvent the doctor-patient” relationship. While more than 30 were featured at the Health 2.0 conference in San Diego earlier this month, this blog, Venture Beat, looks at these six:
- Myca has re-envisioned the display of medical records for the digital age using for one thing, a cloud of tags displaying medical information, See the Doctor 2.0 video
- Carol- the care market place which I have reviewed before
- Organized Wisdom, which utilizes wisdom cards and online chats with physicians (for a small fee)
- American Well which gives you the opportunity to talk to a doctor live – Web 2.0 telemedicine
- Pharmasurveyor which helps you understand your drug regimen and potential interactions (web 2.0 patient safety goals)
- Phreesia – an online patient clipboard. A competitor of NoMoreClipboard.com?
An good mix of Web 2.0 offerings in healthcare which may have significant uses in the clinical setting or home. As the Doctor 2.0 video says, healthcare is stuck in 1974. But the real potential of these single-purpose sites would be in a mashup of several into a comprehensive tool for managing medical conditions.
