Been too busy this week to do a good job following the Health 2.0 conference, so I am going to link to some coverage from other blogs (people who were there).
The appropriately name Health 2.0 blog has a submission from Dan Kogan of HealthWorldWeb, where he talks about some of the themes that arose at the conference, and his opinion on what startups are doing and what needs to be done.
One theme in all the discussions I have seen, and its somewhat obvious, is that that the healthcare system in the US is in bad shape and erroneously focussed. While some of the efforts today might seem somewhat trivial, or “me too” effort, it is clear that there are people there willing to work both with and outside the system. Will the system change? How soon will it change? Are we ready?
While you ponder those thoughts, don’t forget to drop by The Health Care blog where you can get commentary on the Health 2.0 conference from the horses mouth. Matthew Holt has a series of posts and videos from the conference.
