Innovation Integration Timeline: Where is Medicine 2.0? July 1, 2008

I found this great timeline on the blog of Jay Parkinson (original: juliaallison). This is the Innovation Integration Timeline:

1. they are invented
2. they are adopted by a few
3. they are ridiculed
4. they are adopted by a few more
5. they are feared
6. they are adopted by a few more
7. they are discussed
8. they are adopted by many
9. they are praised
10. they are absorbed into everyday life
11. they are seen as so obvious it’s hard to imagine the world any other way
12. they are written about in mainstream media

Medicine 2.0 is currently somewhere between number 2 and 6. We need much more participants and innovators (like Jay, like Jen or like Alex). I believe in 5 years we might get to number 12…
