I’m delighted you’re here. Here are a few things that might help you if you’re looking for more assistance prepping for trade shows. Remember Anyone’s Name – You can be the trade show person everyone loves because you remember everyone’s name after meeting them only once. Memorable Voice Mail Greetings – After you’ve met folks and exchanged business cards at a show, you’re going to get a bunch of phone calls. If you have a memorable voicemail greeting, you’ll stand out as someone folks need to stay connected to, even if you can’t call them back right away. 5 More Reasons to Attend Con...

I’m going to my first book launch party tomorrow. I’m a bit nervous. It’s for Thomas Goetz’s book The Decision Tree, which was just released. His book and blog carry great insight into the future of health – personalization, quantification, and smarter choices. He even created a nifty app on Wired’s website where you can build your own decision tree. Why am I nervous? Well, the book includes my own personal decision tree (see below), based on my 10-year battle with chronic pain. So now everyone who reads it will know my story. Which is scary but also fantastic, because I think hearing people’s stories is such an important part of healing ourselves that is often missing in traditional doctor-patient hea...

Here is an overview of the talk, and the slides and video are below. “The New Wave of Self-Tracking Ubiquitous, invisible biosensors. Constant, streaming measurements. Analytics for your health. Detailed self-tracking will transform our understanding of our bodies, our health, and our medicine. Geeks are already tracking everything from calories to blood pressure to steps taken during the day (Quantified Self). People with chronic conditions track their treatments, pain levels, and side effects (CureTogether). The ultimate promise when this goes mainstream is true personalized medicine, where each person gets a treatment plan individual to their b...

In a month I’m headed to Boston to be part of the Health 2.0 conference. I’m presenting CureTogether as part of the “Wiki vs. Expert” panel debate. I haven’t done much speaking in the last 6 years, with small children to care for. But it’s time to jump back in now. I feel like there are millions of people in pain depending on me, wanting me to be out there trying to do whatever I can to help them. If I were in pain, I’d want someone out there trying to help me. . It’s an interesting question though. Do you trust fellow patients for health information? Or experienced doctors? Or some combination of the two? Here’s the description of the panel debate from the Health 2.0 agenda: “User-gen...
