Jan Martens at Medblog.nl shared a more than interesting post with me. He mentioned Maarten Lens-Fitzgerald who should be considered one of the best examples of e-patients in the world. Why?
This is the blog of the journey I started on June 4th 2008 when I found out I had a tumor between my lungs. Its a journal for all to read, to stay informed and for me to share.
- his X-rays are online
- he blogs about his ‘journey’
- he twitters about his experiences inside and outside the hospital
- he makes pictures with his cellphone and puts these online through mobypicture
- he creates movies inside the hospital and he is interviewed by visitors
- you can make an appointment using a google online agenda
