Age of Participatory Medicine
Kevin Kruse posted a video yesterday which includes this line: The age of participatory medicine has begun. It’s a promo for e-Patients Connections 2009, a conference to be held in Philadelphia this October, but also has good citations (ahem, including my reports). See what you think.
