I’ve recently come across 5 services that may be useful for those interested in health 2.0.
- Healthcare Magic: HealthcareMagic is the world’s first portal allowing a live interaction between doctors and patients over Internet and phone, allowing integrated comparison shopping for health related products and services. HealthcareMagic enables patients, families and friends to share their experiences with a healthcare provider like doctors and hospitals, to research and purchase health care products and services with the same ease and transparency as shopping for other products online.
- Within3: Within3 is the private professional networking site exclusively for health and life science practitioners to find, connect and collaborate with the right colleague, right now.
- WebMed Technology: We are very proud to introduce these videos as an aid to anyone that may need to refresh their knowledge in these particular areas. Please check back frequently as our video library will continue to grow. Please be advised that these are actual procedures and may be too graphic for some viewers.
- Entelos: Entelos is a life sciences company improving human health through predictive biosimulation. Using in silico disease models and a virtual patient approach, Entelos identifies and validates targets, develops biomarkers, improves the success rates of clinical trials, and helps bring therapeutics to market faster.
- My Digital Health: MyDigitalHealth will synthesize your current health, your health history, and your lifestyle to generate a representation of you in a computer simulation of human physiology. You then can use this innovative personal health simulation to predict your future risk of disease and determine how that risk responds to changes in lifestyle, diet, or medication; and based on that, set a plan for yourself to try to reduce your risk and track your progress towards meeting your goals.
Berci - great info on these interesting new (to me at least) firms - thanks for the roundup. I signed up for info/beta at My Digital Health. Will be interesting to see what happens with their unique dashboard; whether or not physician will be gatekeeper, etc. Also, since parent company is involved in some pharma research (via biosim modeling), how information will be utilized…
I’ll just add that Entelos has been doing this for a while and is fairly established and well respected. It’s a company I’ve admired for a while
Thanks for adding Healthcaremagic.com, m a member of this organization, peoples should be aware of this excellent/very useful service using Health 2.0 concept.
Thanks a lot !!
good i like this blog
Some thoughts:
Healthcare Magic are locally in Bangalore and also on Twitter @HealthcareMagic. Interesting to see if they make it to Europe or US.
WithIn3 to take on Sermo? I think there is a 3rd player in the MD space as well.
WebMed like CME programs? Would Pharma end up sponsoring?
Entelos looks interesting and is actually providing a Medicine 2.0 service. 1st time I have heard of them.
Signed up for MDH as well.
Keep ‘em coming!
