I overviewed the Health 2.0 2009 conference largely through twitter. Here are my key takeaways:

• HealthCare needs to become more consumer: All innovation will be driven through this domain, PatientsLikeMe & CureTogether are prime examples.
• Keas launched as a platform for Care plans – I took it for a spin love the way you can create action items! Not as intuitive as Mint but not really a good analogy either.
• Health 2.0 Accelerator – A lot of media towards this effort of trying a create a platform (yet again) to add for value for the end consumer using the better together model. Here is a Demo Video.
• Public Health Media: Microsoft’s H1N1 Center, Google Flu Trends
• Mobile: WebMD iPhone App
• Physician’s Office: NPDigest.com – open source groupware for a clinic.

Please add your thought about the conference through the comments.

Earlier this year Myself and my colleague, Chris Tremonte, did a bike ride from Seattle to San Francisco. Thought I would link my ride report from here as well. Hopefully we helped in someway to increase the awareness for HealthDataRights.
