Healthcare Innovation: Made With Patients

Posted on by Editor

This week I was in Basel, Switzerland, to deliver a keynote presentation at the DayOne Conference, Shaping The Future of Health.  It was a great experience and heartening to meet so many start-up companies with a real interest in working with patients in codesigning healthcare solutions.

I believe that a genuine partnership model with patients and their families and carers, will not just improve outcomes for patients but can transform the healthcare industry.  I urged the audience to go beyond the patient label and engage with patients as people with valuable lived experience and expertise that they can learn from.

But even with the best intentions, it’s easy to get it wrong. So I shared a model of patient engagement based on a true partnership model that does justice to people as unique, multi-dimensional individuals who want to live the best lives they can.

As always I posted my presentation on SlideShare so please feel free to flip through the deck and if you have any questions or comments to make, I’d love to hear them.

How To Master The Art Of Social Media

Posted on by Editor

It’s been one of my dreams to attend SxSW – the annual music, film, and interactive conference and festival held in Austin – and I hope one year to make it there. In the meantime, it has been enlightening and entertaining to follow the tweets, blogs and other social media from the event.

Here’s a slide-deck I particularly liked from Peg Fitzpatrick and Guy Kawasaki on mastering the art of social media as it focuses on the value of being helpful and gracious in developing your online presence – something which I think doesn’t get enough attention from social media “gurus”. In addition the emphasis on tackling social media in a consistent and smart way is invaluable advice.

Enjoy the slides and do let me know what you thought of them in the comments here.

#HealthXPH: Tweet Chat on Emerging Technologies and Social Media in Healthcare

Posted on by Editor


I am passionate about the power of healthcare tweet chats – you can read why I think they are such a transformative modality in Can A Hashtag Change Healthcare?

One of my favorite chats is #HealthXPH, a twitter chat based in the Philippines. One of its founders, Dr Iris Thiele Isip Tan recently gave this talk at the Healthcare IT Philippines conference. It outlines the genesis and evolution of the #HealthXPH tweet chat, and for anyone interested in how healthcare chats work on Twitter, it’s a must-see presentation.
