Social Media and Medicine – a Match Made in Heaven? | MedCrunch: "What about working with the new media in novel and valuable construct? The idea would be to engage all the players; clinicians, patients and industry. Users would complete a registration process and access a secure cloud. Individual disease, devices and medications would have a distinct information page with customized categories and questions relevant to a patient experience. Content would be assessed through an open on-line peer-review process and use material beyond the written word to minimize the potential for exclusion because of literacy or numeracy unmet needs."

A clever startup will use technology to marry PHRs with Information Therapy with social media, so patients can have intelligent conversations online with doctors , loved ones and other patients !
