Who’s Coming: Jen McCabeGorman – Firestarter, Connector and Health Advocate

Posted on April 8, 2009 by ekivemark

Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Jen McCabe Gorman, Chief Patient Advocate for OrganizedWisdom Health, firestarter (don’t ask, bring an extinguisher) at NextHealth (NL), ferocious advocate for bivalve platforms that integrate/translate data for cooperative use by patients and providers..

Why are you attending HealthCamp Boston?
Excellent group lined up for HealthCampBoston (with running updates on Twitter). HealthCamps always seem to be the functional equivalent of liberal arts salons…lots of opinions, toss in some data, stir, and you’ve got a lot of productive sharing going on that usually drives change. Providing some new resource for an individual that they then repopulate within their organizational honeycomb does my heart good.

If you were to lead a session, what would it be about?
Social Media is a channel, people! Not an industry, not a movement. A communications channel. And a great one for connecting patients and providers alike. Let’s take a look at how to channel health content using a condition-specific Twitter case study – the development of @polarwisdom

Tell us one random fact about yourself.
Love cigars, fascinated by ancient Egyptian history, and working on a theory of genetics+anthropology (genoanth) in my ‘spare’ time. Oh wait, that’s three. One random fact = usually guilty of overkill :).

Where can we find you?
Carpetbagging on Twitter, various health/tech conferences

Are YOU coming to HealthCamp Boston? Let other campers know so they can find you.

Welcome to HealthCampBoston

Posted on February 10, 2009 by ekivemark

HealthCampBoston has teamed up with Social-Pharmer to present a one-day un-conference exploring trends in the transformation of health care. Anticipated discussions include:

Why we need participatory medicine
How Social Networks help (or hurt) patients, providers, insurers
Why Open Standards remain so closed
mobile Health trends

Spanning 8-hours, this collaborative meeting connects a broad group of individuals interested in transforming healthcare for the 21st century.

We expect debate. We expect sharing. In short, we expect RAT (Real, Authentic, and Transparent) discussions that contribute to the transformation of health care across stakeholder lines.

Join us. Help us create a more inclusive, participatory health care structure for all.

The event takes place at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center in Cambridge, MA. The organizers wish to thank Microsoft for their generous sponsorship of this event.
