Three lines of far away mountain ranges

Continuing my practice of “flipping” an event — posting what I hope to get across in advance in order to jump start the conversation, here is a preview for a panel set to take place at 12pm on Friday, Oct. 19, in Boston. One of the maxims I carry with me into every meeting and […]

Is there hope for SMS health alerts?

Pew Internet: Demographics of cell- and smartphone ownership, Sept 2012

Richard Fury, MD, of Kaiser Permanente emailed me recently, asking: “Is there any hope for SMS health alerts when patients are due for preventive care?  As you know, patients want this, we want to provide this, but without symptomatic incentives adoption is poor.

I chose East, but my eyes kept straying West, and I am very thankful that the organizers for both are archiving the videos online.
