Eve Harris writes: 'Researchers should stop designing inquiries around outcomes that don’t matter to patients. We reviewed some studies that seemed better suited for mice but were nonetheless conducted in humans. Overall, though, it appears that patient perspectives and values are increasingly part of research design. The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is funding exciting new studies. In a recent article, PCORI explains “Why Methods Matter.” The healthcare delivery systems of today differ markedly from those of the past, and the way care is delivered can have a profound impact on outcomes. These factors combine to make it difficult, but critical, for patients and their care providers to understand and use the research information most relevant to the health decisions they make. Providers and patients are making progress in defining and trying out new ways of communicating about clinical decisions. Achieving the best outcomes via this newer, more participatory practice of medicine requires attention not only to the evidence provided by high quality studies but also clinical judgment and respect for the bottom line: patient values.'

One out of 18 people die from a stroke. Those who live are lucky, but still deal with its after effects, as strokes often damage the areas in the brain that coordinate movement.

I just gave a presentation about The Social MEDia Course at the recent Medicine 2.0 at Harvard Medical School. I met amazing people such as Epatient Dave, Susannah Fox, Peter Murray, and the list goes on.
Digital health can redefine medicine -- but will benefit from a wider ranger of investors, including those with deep healthcare expertise Khosla claims that Google’s development of a driverless car is a challenge “two orders of magnitude more complex” than providing the right diagnosis. To me, this highlights what I see as the underlying disconnect — the mischaracterization of the fundamental problem to be solved. Medicine isn’t (only) about inputting symptoms and receiving a diagnosis, it’s about trying to elicit symptoms, to understand why a patient is worried or concerned, to appreciate how a particular treatment approach is likely to work in the real world, to provide encouragement as a patient tries to deal with chronic illness. .

I’ve been working on including digital literacy in medical curriculum for long years now. It’s not the fault of medical professionals if they don’t know how to deal with e-patients as they have never been trained to acquire such skills.
