Let Patients Help

August 1, 2011

Are you an e-Patient? The most under-utilised resource in all of healthcare, is the patient. Patients need to be allowed to take part in their own healthcare. e-Patients are equipped, engaged empowered and enabled.

Some of you may be familiar with TED.com. TED is a non-profit organisation devoted to “ideas worth spreading”. It started as a conference bringing together people from the worlds of technology, entertainment and design. As well as running conferences, it delivers riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world. These talks are well worth dipping into for inspiration and thought-provoking perspectives.

Here’s one I really enjoyed… Meet e-Patient Dave.

Thanks to Ann @ Transplant News for alerting me to the above talk.

Tune in next week for an update on e-Patient Steph! 😉
