Being a New Media Geek, I love to see different implementations of futuristic healthcare. Below the New Media Medicine section of the MIT Media Lab is definitely ahead of its time (as usual).

My only question is: If better patient outcomes are not about the technology but implementation, what sort of licencing costs will be required to make these technologies ubiquitous?

Nevertheless, I am definitely looking forward to what they are going to come up with for our Medicine 2.0 Congress presentation in Toronto, Ontario.

I too often get asked “why do you even bother wasting your time with Twitter?” However, as an early adopter I still remember the day when I was socked with information overload of the few people I followed.

Today, I am followed by and follow over four hundred tweeps and cannot imagine a day without greeting, collaborating, and tinkering along with my twitter gang.

For those of you open minded types, I believe the following two pieces nicely describe the impact Twitter can have in Medicine and Public Health.
