Processed Doctors

May 2, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Recently I was preparing to give a talk related to the future of medicine. With my speaker information I  decided to break ranks a bit and submit a photo that was altered to offer a slightly technochic look.  I thought it was in line with the subject matter of processed doctors and set the tone for the presentation. “We’d really like a more traditional image...like ...

Leaders and Their Smartphones

February 23, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Recently I realized that really important people aren't fixated on their smartphones. I spent time recently with some very influential people.  Higher ups, leaders, mucky mucks.  I never saw them look at their smartphones.  Next time you're around a real leader, take note.  You would never know that they even own a phone.  I suspect they have better things to ...

Defining Social Standards for Doctors

February 9, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

There's lots of discussion about how doctors should carry themselves online. What are the social standards that guide doctors online? I think it's simpler than we make it out to be. Consider that we all live and work in communities.  We're are shaped by those around us.  None of us do what we do alone.  And what I do and how I behave affects the way my community ...

Can Pharma Detail Doctors Digitally?

October 23, 2010 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s the great migration to digital.  And as civilization makes its move, the pharmaceutical industry is trying to figure out how to reach out to physicians.  Pharmaceutical reps are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Branded medication portals leave most doctors cold.  Email outreach is marginal. So how do you detail doctors digitally? Pharma strategists ask me ...

Psychomanipulation and Social Health

September 10, 2010 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Last week Michael Arrington wrote an important piece in Techcrunch, Blogging and Mass Psychomanipulation. It details how as bloggers we play to our readers for positive regard. We give ‘em red meat. I think there’s social health psychomanipulation. Many of us indulge the obvious social health memes. We universally bash pharma, blindly buoy the empowered, blame the ...
