Information Therapy Seminar at HELP

Don Kemper, CEO of Healthwise, is coming to India to talk about Information Therapy. US and UK health insurers have increasingly invested in ways to support their member's health and health care decisions. Kaiser, United Health Care, AETNA, CIGNA, WELLPOINT all have developed member Websites and disease management programs to provide the information and decision-support that their members need. Don Kemper is the founder and chief executive of Healthwise, the leading source of consumer health information in North America. Healthwise content is used on the Websites of 9 of the 10 largest US Websites as well as on such consumer portals as WebMD, YAHOO and MSN.com.

Mr. Kemper will be in Mumbai on Friday and Saturday, 7 and 8 April to present at an invitational workshop on "the business case for consumer health information within health plans. Kemper's talk will describe the patient education trends among health insurers in the US and the business case for their contribution to health insurance success. The presentation is sponsored by HELP, the Health Education Library for People, located in Mumbai.

We will be having presentations for a diverse group, including: health insurance companies; doctors; hospitals; journalists and the public.

Everyone is welcome - we hope Information Therapy will help put patients back at the center of the healthcare system !
