Pathways, a Scientific American magazine, has a long new article The Rise of the Empowered Patient. It quotes, among others, our friend Lucien Engelen (@Zorg20, which is Dutch for Health 2.0). I’m starting an all day meeting so I can’t absorb yet – please discuss!

 

Please consider supporting the Society by joining us today! Thank you.
