Nearly 700 blog posts have been written (according to Google Blogsearch) about Trey Pennington’s suicide on Sunday. Somebody’s even curating a collection of these posts.

People shouldn't have to struggle alone in the darkness of their own minds. The taboo surrounding depression and other disorders does nothing but make it harder on those struggling daily. If every person struggling is afraid to speak up because fears of ostracism, then no one gets anywhere. This leads to no increase in public acceptance and no help for the individual. It is so tragic that friends and family often learn about a person's struggle with depression like Trey Pennington after it is too late to do anything.

A lot has been said about gamification, dubbed badgification by some, and it seems people are still divided over whether it’s a fad or the future. Be that as it may, one area where I think it just might work is health and fitness improvement. Enter Foodzy, a service that enables users to keep track of what and how much they eat over time, in order to provide them with some insights on how to eat and live healthier, lose weight or simply on how their eating habits compare to their friends. Today, the fledgling Amsterdam company behind the service (not to be confused with Foodzie by the way) is launching free applications for iOS and Android, although one needs a Foodzy Pro account ($15 per year) to log in. The app helps people keep track of what they eat even when they’re on the move. Using Foodzy, one can access deep statistics and unlock badges (there we are!) for healthy eating habits, but also for fun ones – think Hangover badges for when you’ve consumed too much alcohol in a single night, or a BBQ badge for barbecuing more than 5 times in one Summer. Foodzy uses localized food databases from over 58 countries, and is currently available in English, French, German and Dutch. You can check out Foodzy free of charge, but the number of badges you can earn are limited and your eating history will not be kept longer than 30 days. Also, as I mentioned before, you need to cough up cash for the premium version of the service and to be able to use the mobile applications. Foodzy was one of the 18 finalists at this year’s TNW Conference Startup Rally, where it was ‘soft-launched’ – they opened up for public beta about two months ago.

Nearly 90% of physicians use at least one social media site for personal use, while over 65% have used at least one to support their professional practice. A burgeoning group of “Connected Clinicians” are using multiple sites for both personal and professional purposes. Physicians see promise in online physician and patient communities for improving patient care, but are struggling with the associated challenges.

The first time I got a copy of my medical record, it was when the doctor handed it to me. She then wrote down which website to go to, and what not to look at because she was afraid it would “freak me out.” Perhaps her approach suggests participatory medicine at its finest. However, I remember none of this. I know it happened, because I have the paper to prove it. What I do remember is that she spoke in a gentle voice, her lovely accent softening the results of the test — which I understood to be exactly the opposite of what it meant. What I understood from “ductal carcinoma in situ” (DCIS) was, “Cancer’s in my ducts. That’s the same as lymph nodes. That’s bad. In situ. That must mean it’s inoperable. I have to prepare myself for death. And I also need to prepare my family.” I left the office a dead woman.

’m fortunate. My job actually requires that I spend time on Facebook and on Twitter. Let me give you three examples of how that impacted “Third World” medicine just yesterday alone. First a word of explanation – my job title is Manager of Partner Relations for God’s Littlest Angels which is an orphanage outside of Port Au Prince Haiti. Calling Haiti “Third world” is being nice and I love the country and it’s people.
