Last week I was reminded that people don’t become ‘empowered’, they only become ‘disempowered’ by the treatment they receive from some other authority and power.

So why is it that we still think of patients as passive objects rather than active subjects who can collaborate in their own health? This was a question posed earlier this year by Professor Bas Bloem in the excellent presentation he gave at the Future of Healthcare TedX Conference in Maastricht.

Who’s gonna put a ding in the health care universe? 

Those of us in health care social media circles often ask “Who is the Steve Jobs of health care?” or “Where is the Richard Branson of health care?” or some such. We’re looking out for the major game-changers, the mavericks capable of putting a ding in the health care universe of the future? No doubt there are contenders out there and some of them may be found at TedMed in San Diego later this month.

  At last year’s event it was Thomas Goetz who stood out for me with his talk about the need to redesign medical data. He asked why our health records are so hard to access and impossible to read, yet full of information that could help us get healthier if we just knew how to use it. He used his executive editorship of Wired magazine to publish some great illustrations showing just how well health information would be properly designed and displayed for patients.

Healthcare and Social Media

We've just released the recorded highlights from the hcsmglobal camp we hosted on a somewhat windy and wet day in Brighton on Monday 12th September: www.hcsmgbc.info

We are regulars in the #hcsmeu (Healthcare Communications and Social Media) community and it was a pleasure to welcome old friends and familiar avatars to our workplace. The day started with a warm introduction from Andrew Spong, who valiantly hosts the regular friday #hcsmeu tweet-up (12:00 gmt), followed by a brief intro from all of the attendees. An excellent and diverse turnout comprised people from Germany, Austria, France, Holland, Hungary, Spain, Switzerland, the USA and of course the UK.

The whole day was streamed live at http://www.hcsmgbc.info/ archive of all the work and talks are now live.
