Esther Dyson interview about The Digital Health Revolution
September 19, 2008
In an interview from Scribemedia.org, Esther Dyson discusses the problems with the health care system and the limitations of Health 2.0. She sees Health 2.0 as emphasizing the problems in the system rather than solving them. She promotes the idea of changing financial incentives to promote outcomes. She discusses the importance of transparency in health care including more specific data about physicians to assist in selection of providers and hospitals. Outcome data needs to be presented in a way that is understandable to the consumer.
“I want people to understand stuff”, she says in reference to her interest in genetics through her investment and involvement in 23 and Me and other ventures.
Another quote: “Intelligence is like the semantic web.”
Worth the 35 minutes of your time.
