Another Summary of Health 2.0 Conference with Best Picks
October 30, 2008
Jen McCabe Gorman posts on the Health Management RX blog her favorites from the Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco. Jen had the insider’s view having reviewed many of the demos prior to the conference. She cites 22 of her favorites and is not afraid to critique their weaknesses. One interesting quote: “We’re building killer apps that are springing forth from fertile VC and ad revenue soil like mushrooms and other nutrient, dark-loving fungi. But where’s the tree trunk they can all grow on?”
Also worth reading is her post on Health 2.0 Demo Tips, such as, don’t let your ego drive the presentation.

Medicine 2.0 Course in a University – a first
October 30, 2008
This course sound like a big success. Taught by Berci Mesko at University of Debrecen in Hungary, a photo of the class in it’s 5th week here. Course outline looks comprehensive. The course even has its own blog. This is probably one of the most publicly documented courses ever short of having the whole thing on video. Maybe next year.
This kind of material is an excellent introduction ot Medicine 2.0 for any group of health professionals. I hope more courses will be designed at nursing, medical and allied health schools around the world.
