The iPad: Changing Healthcare Conversations
By announcing the iPad yesterday, Apple brings large screen multitouch computing to the masses (better resolution video on the Apple site.  Recommended!) This technology will stimulate a lot of healthcare innovation from better EMR user interface to healthcare consumer apps.  I see the greatest potential, however, in how it can completely change face-to-face healthcare conversations (see an...

A great example of mapping the care journey of a patient with lung disease.  The patient’s journey from before diagnosis to successfully living with the disease is clearly mapped.  How the patient and the healthcare team co-create the care experience is clearly demonstrated.  Tough it out through the first minute and then the action starts but you have to watch the full thing.

Ethnography: An Important Tool for Care Designers
joeheinowski: VISUAL ETHNOGRAPHY: Design is both noun and verb. We need to see and listen to those who we design for. The people who will experience our product, service or environment. They inspire us to action and make or work life meaningful. The root of true innovation. (This post is inspired by a friend who lives this every day) Joe, very well said. Nothing to add.

IFTF’s HC2020 website presents four scenarios of the future of healthcare a decade from now: Growth, Discipline, Collapse and Transformation.  Interesting perspective and definitely worth watching.  I think it is too conservative on the rate of scientific discovery, however, in light of some of the projections of some futurists among whom is Raymond Kurzweil (see his TED talk).
