Revolutionizing Healthcare

We believe however, there will soon be another very popular post, with comments on how e-patients will revolutionize healthcare!
Revolutionize Healthcare
According to Susannah Fox, by taking advantage of new online health tools, e-patients and health professionals now have the ability to create equal partnerships that enable individuals to be equipped, enabled, empowered and engaged in their health and health care decisions.
Tom Ferguson MD
At least, that that was the vision of Dr. Tom Ferguson. He coined the term e-patients and launched www.e-patients.net in 2006. At the time, Ferguson intended to upload his book-length overview of the online health revolution, “E-patients: How They Can Help Us Heal Health Care.”

Unfortunately however, he died a month later after losing a fifteen-year battle with multiple myeloma.
Health 2.0 Developments
Following Ferguson’s death, a group of his friends and colleagues completed the paper and adopted the blog to carry on his work, as well as their own perspectives on various Health 2.0 developments.
Assessment
We think the “E-patients” paper remains relevant in 2008, as his apostles hope to extend the findings into the future.
