In looking at technology last week, I was very focused on looking at Second Life and the role of the Virtual World of Health Care. In doing so, I was a bit frustrated because I had trouble really getting my Avatar and I to work together. I have now taken a bit of a break, and am looking again at the vast array of ways patients, families, caregivers and providers can find the answers to their health care questions.
I started researching for a paper I am doing in another class and was looking at other blogs and the sites on the internet that make accessing information so much easier than just a decade ago. I find that I am often buried in links that go to other links, etc. I have also noticed that you can find health care information as part of most mainstream monthly magazines (How to prevent Childhood Obesity, Making healthy meals your children will eat, The family that plays together grows old together, etc). But, what got me to this blog today is an article I just found on how smartphones are really changing how we look at healthcare from a consumer and a provider point of view. I am posting it her for your interest and comments as well.
