We Create the Noise Around Us

May 5, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Last night during the Social Media & Health Care Twitter Conversation the issue of swine flu surfaced. So I took to my soap box to point the finger at the hysteria created this week on Twitter. While I’m juiced about the potential for social media to influence the delivery of health information, I was disappointed with the noise created surrounding the ...

Aporkalypse Not

May 3, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last year some 36,000 people died in the United States as a result of influenza. This year a new strain kills a few and the world is turned upside down.

Pay-for-Post Doctors

April 29, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Health 2.0 – Is There a Doctor in the House?

April 22, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I spent the day today at HealthCamp Boston with some 150 medical thinkers. It was my first experience at a HealthCamp. If you’ve never been, it’s best described as an organic, roll-your-sleeves-up, stand-at-the-whiteboard, open source, ad lib meeting centered around health 2.0. Come with your issues and create an argument. Lots of discussion, talent and passion. But ... Continue Reading about Health 2.0 – Is There a Doctor in the House?

Should Medical Microblogging Worry Patients?

April 16, 2009 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

So says Gary Schwitzer, founder of Health News Review, in a post you can read here. He references three recent newscasts that have covered surgical procedures via Twitter. Beyond noting that patients should be concerned about the use of Twitter (and even TV) in the operating room, he suggests that the press should be occupying its time with discussion of issues such ...
