ABC News Interviews Dr. Val About The ePatient Revolution
The Internet has revolutionized how we receive information -- and it’s also changing how we learn about and manage our health. A new “ePatient” movement promises to empower patients with online and mobile tools -- making it easier than ever to contact a physician, track health variables, and join a support group.
Four minutes isn’t much time to summarize an entire movement, and I think I got a little off topic while suggesting a new use case for David Hale’s NIH PillBox (a pill identifier tool). I said it could be used to identify pills even after your pet licked part of the label off them!
