But sometimes we lose someone of great moment to the SPM and the e-patient community. Nancy Finn was one such person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nancy Finn was a beacon of inspiration and advocacy. Recently, we faced the profound loss of Nancy, who passed away after a brief illness. A courageous two-time breast cancer survivor, Nancy also faced the challenges of a chronic health condition. However, she never let her struggles define her. Instead, she utilized her experiences as an engaged and empowered e-patient to help others navigate their health journeys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nancy was a long-time member of the board of overseers and served as a patient advocate at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and on the quality board at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA. She also served on the consumer health council and patient engagement workgroup of Massachusetts Health Quality Partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nancy\u2019s professional background was in writing, publishing, and marketing, and she taught journalism and communications at Boston University. She applied her skills to writing a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcarebasics.info\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and publishing several books, first advocating for greater use of technology in medical practice and then illustrating how digital technologies can be powerful tools for patients. The revised second edition of her book, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcarebasics.info\/e-patients-live-longer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">e-Patients Live Longer: The Complete Guide to Managing Health Care Using Technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, was published in 2023. I was privileged to contribute the foreword for both editions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her knowledge and insights were not confined to her writings; Nancy shared her expertise through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/participatorymedicine.org\/epatients\/2014\/11\/digital-technology-in-health-and-participatory-medicine-recognized-in-un-forum.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">presentations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and discussions at international forums at the Global Alliance for Women\u2019s Health and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allianceforhealthpromotion.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global Alliance for Health Promotion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, affiliated with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">World Health Organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her role as an early member of the Society for Participatory Medicine (SPM) exemplified her commitment to patient engagement. As a prolific contributor to our blog, her well-researched essays on topics such as chronic illness, healthcare costs, and personal patient experiences informed and inspired many. As a result of her energy and engagement, she joined the board of directors and served as secretary for many years. She was a valued member of the board, and she felt passionately about the SPM\u2019s mission. Even after retiring from the board, her dedication remained steadfast; she announced that proceeds from her recent book would be donated to SPM, a testament to her commitment to the cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was fortunate to collaborate with Nancy on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jopm.jmir.org\/2025\/1\/e68911\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">paper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> recently published in the Journal of Participatory Medicine, titled \u201cFrom Internet to AI Bots: Symbiotic Evolutions of Digital Technologies and e-Patients.\u201d While she knew of its acceptance, it is heartbreaking that she did not live to see it published.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nancy Finn will be deeply missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing her. Her warmth, passion for advocacy, and unwavering belief in empowering patients have left a lasting legacy. As we move forward, let us honor her memory by continuing to champion the participatory medicine movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don\u2019t regularly post obituaries on the e-Patients Blog.
