'The information about the best cures is not coming through medical doctors. They are too beholden to the perks and the pronouncements of the industry that makes its money from sickness.
The information comes from others who have researched the same illness out of desperation and have found a solution. It's called p2p or peer-to-peer health care.'--Sepp Hasslberger @ Health Supreme
'Someone recently asked me to name the most exciting innovation in health care today. I think he was hoping for a sexy technology tip, like an app that’s catching fire in the expert patient communities I follow.
Nope.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the most exciting innovation of the connected health era is…people talking with each other.
At the Pew Research Center we call it “peer-to-peer health care” and measure it with national survey data:
- 24% of U.S. adults got information or support from others who have the same health condition the last time they had a significant health issue.'
