Health Affairs made available an article entitled “Take Two Aspirin and Tweet Me In the Morning”, which concerns patient empowerment via social media technologies. It’ll be interesting to see how social media uniquely evolves in healthcare, as privacy issues loom and doctors might not buy in to it unless economic and clinical value is clearly evident. Firms like Kaiser and Hello Health that are giving patients better access to care and more information are ones to watch, though the article also alludes to the nascent nature of such endeavors. Furthermore, pure online treatment will likely only ever be an add-on to traditional offline doctor relationships, as you can’t take a shot, get a root canal or perform surgery via the internet (at least not now!). Still, getting more information about and communication with doctors might radically improve access to care, something DocAsap is passionate about.
