Today I participated in a webinar on chronic conditions hosted by eHI, the eHealth Initiative (NationaleHealth.org). I don’t have any expertise on chronic conditions but they asked for my voice regarding the value of patient engagement – e-patients!
Before me there were two great presentations by diabetes / weight-loss wizard Julie Cabinaw (with the amusing but misleading Twitter handle @Loser_Mama) and cardiac patient Dan Treadwell. An archive of the whole event will be posted soon.
(The webcast used a new technology, ReadyTalk, that had a lot of problems, not least of which was that it has no online audio (dial-in only) and it quickly sold out (“All lines are full”) so people could watch the slides but not hear. There will be an archive of the whole thing, but it still won’t include my slides, because I didn’t send them in soon enough – totally my bad. Thus, this post.)
Here are the slides; below are notes on what I said.
