What healthcare innovators can learn from intelligence community geeks

document Distributed Knowledge, Open Innovation, Tools
Summary
At the recent MedCity CONVERGE health innovation summit, a panel discussion about online collaboration opined that many “futuristic” innovations in health and life sciences already exist, but are simply not part of the regular workflow of doctors, bioscientists, and other health professionals. To tweak author William Gibson’s famous phrase, the future of healthcare innovation is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.
Description While there are lots of experiments with technological and Web innovation in the health community ’ take for example Medstartr, a crowdsourcing site for health, or FitBit, essentially a sophisticated health data collection system that goes where you go, or the Your Shape: Fitness Evolved game for Xbox, a collaboration between Humana and gamemaker Ubisoft ’ for the most part, the tactical process of how you make a doctor’s appointment, fill out forms, get follow up information, pick up prescriptions, deal with health insurance, and so on is pretty much the same as it was 50 years ago.
