Who *are* those guys? (Matt Wiggins and Remedy Systems)–Susannah Fox

November 16, 2010 By Susannah Fox 14 Comments

How many times have you been at a conference, listening to some panel, when all of a sudden someone says something that snaps you out of your stupor and you think, “Who *is* that guy?” (And if you’re lucky enough to remember Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, please enjoy the following rendition of that […]

The presence of patients changes public conversations about health care

October 4, 2010 By Susannah Fox 1 Comment

I’m attending a LOT of conferences this fall and over & over I am seeing the power of having patients in the room. e-Patient Connections was a wonderful and well-documented example (in blogs, on Twitter, plus the large in-person audience) as will be Health 2.0 San Francisco. But the one that turned my head around […]

Patient Communities: Which Way Forward?–Susannah Fox

August 9, 2010 By Susannah Fox 12 Comments

If you were designing a disease treatment system from scratch, bringing together clinicians, patients, researchers, and advocates, what platform would you use to take advantage of the community created by this umbrella group? This isn’t just some health geek SimCity exercise. I was actually asked that question recently, by people who have lined up the […]

Health 2.0 DC: Passion and Execution at Scale

June 8, 2010 By Susannah Fox 7 Comments

I think conferences are deeply affected by the spirit of their host city.  San Francisco has its hackers and dreamers, Boston has its entrepreneurs and ivy, Paris has its pomp and worldliness. At Health 2.0 DC yesterday, my city showed that it has passion and execution — at scale. Leave it to others to point […]

The Power of Data and the Power of One

May 5, 2010 By Susannah Fox 13 Comments

I am struck, once again, by the power of data and the power of one. Carlos Rizo, Chief Imagineer of the Health Strategy Innovation Cell, posted this very intriguing tweet on May 2: The power of open data: To find problems in complicated environments, and possibly even to prevent them from emerging. Clicking through, I […]

Health 2.0 Europe: A Moveable Feast–Susannah Fox

April 19, 2010 By Susannah Fox 13 Comments

Ernest Hemingway wrote that Paris is a moveable feast, not fixed in time or place. I think that describes great gatherings of any kind, including great conferences, which begin before the first speaker takes the stage and don’t end simply because the participants have left the building. Health 2.0 Europe began, for me, in February, […]
