Pharma and Social Media: Video InterviewsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’ve given numerous presentations to pharma companies about how to embrace social media and it’s always a hard job.

First here is John Pugh (Director Corporate and External Communications) from Boehringer. Jack Barrette CEO of WEGO Health discusses Health Activism and his ideas about how the FDA can handle the challenges of Pharma involvement in social media.

The best medical blog out there, Medgadget.com, has recently covered the TEDMED 2009 conference and they have been sharing video interviews with us for weeks. One of the most interesting interviews is about Shareable Ink.

For example, in Hungary, in some cases doctors must print reports and sign those by hand because of the legal regulations. But with Shareable Ink, it seems there is light in the tunnel.

First, the human genome is organized into two separate compartments, keeping active genes separate and accessible while sequestering unused DNA in a denser storage compartment. Second, at a finer scale, the genome adopts an unusual organization known in mathematics as a “fractal.” The specific architecture the scientists found, called a “fractal globule,” enables the cell to pack DNA incredibly tightly – the information density in the nucleus is trillions of times higher than on a computer ...

Journal of Participatory MedicineEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I discovered the new Journal of Participatory Medicine in a guest post on E-Patients.net written by John Sharp of the Cleveland Clinic. Now comes the Journal of Participatory Medicine to fill a gap in journals which acknowledge the active role of the patient in current medical practice. While other journals publish articles on patient participation in health care and social media, but a single journal devoted to this topic will be a welcome addition and make the topic more officially sanctioned as a valid field of medical study. The editorial board is very impressive and lends an important boost to this new journal. The S...

Who is Watching You Online?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Actually, a lot of people can watch you. It’s quite a popular misbelief that you can hide online because you obviously cannot. Here is an excerpt of a recent TIME article: A new survey of medical-school deans finds that unprofessional conduct on blogs and social-networking sites is common among medical students. Although med students fully understand patient-confidentiality laws and are indoctrinated in the high ethical standards to which their white-coated profession is held, many of them still use Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and other sites to depict and discuss lewd behavior and sexual misconduct, make disc...

HealthCamp - Incubator for InnovationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In Toronto last week, in addition to Medicine 2.0, I attended my first HealthCamp, sponsored by MyHealthInnovaton, aka, Innovation Cell. Using an unconference format, HealthCamp creates an environment for creative thinking with the attendees creating the agenda for the day. Great ideas were everrywhere - from pitches on new startups to ideas which are in their infancy, the approach is invigorating. HealthCamps have now been attended by over 1000 participants. I hope the movement will continue to spread. Maybe its time for one in Ohio.Upcoming HealthCamp events.Technorati: Medicine 2.0 (Source: eHealth)
