I am probably not so odd when I wonder why I am not a star. Then I read a really good book and know I cannot dream of writing that well. Or I listen to Sinatra or watch Meryl Streep and recognize that cream rises to the top. I may want to think it is… Continue Reading Two Stars Come Out

I read Seth Godin’s blog most days. This one is pointing right at us. One key advantage of Long Term Care @HOME (used to be called Aging in Place) is managing service, product human and financial resources efficiently.

Exciting. That is what people say about Aging2.0 events. There is an event next week in DC. (Sign up here) I went to last month’s Aging2PINT0 event. There was buzz.

I walked the show floor of the American Telemedicine Association Conference in Baltimore Monday. Lots of ER, operating room and hospital products. A few exercise/wellness products. Lots of talk about connection, integration, systems, clouds, etc. I agree with Elizabeth Patterson from Totier, “More new interesting approaches shining light into the black box”.

Thumbnail image for #mHealth13, Aging in Place

I got a lot out of this year’s mHealth conference. I skipped last year. That helped with a little perspective.  Two years ago mobile, new treatments and technology connecting to healthcare were the disruptive influences in mind.
