Jay Parkinson and Hello Health June 5, 2008

First, you know well who Jay Parkinson is and why he is an example for all of us in the health 2.0 world. Second, I’ve already presented some services that provide online medical consultation. Of course, the simplest conclusion is Jay must launch a similar service. And here is Hello Health.

Let’s see what you have to do if you would like to see a doctor online:

1. Join Hello Health.
2. Make an appointment.
3. You see your doctor.
4. You feel better.

You can choose video chat; IM; in-person visit or e-mail. Ok, despite all the dangers it can lead to, this is the future. I must state that medicine will never be an online service, but there will be more and more patients who want to have a GP who can be contacted online anytime it’s needed.

And if you would like to hear more from Jay himself, here are some videos and interviews:
