They have no choice really. This technology is here and increasingly being used by patients. Interestingly, the same technology is being used by physicians and healthcare organizations, but the two world do not intersect. This will also come.

I think it’s symbiotic: patients shape the technologies as they adopt the technologies. The next evolutions, already begun, are in #genAI and #agenticAI, which #epatients are already began to leverage to help them better understand their health, health records, & to help w/ diagnosis & navigation.

I look forward to moderating a panel, co-hosted by JoPM/@jmirpub.bsky.social/ @s4pm.bsky.social on e-patients & evolving use of tech over time. Join @epatientdave.bsky.social @gfry.bsky.social @denisesilber.bsky.social @amyprice.bsky.social and me. landingpage.jmirpublications.com/how-digital-...

Heartbreaking panel at #STATSummit about what has happening and *is still* happening to @NIH, formerly the envy of the world, as brilliant scientists and critical programs and grants are being terminated. I am sad and angry. #cruelty #arewegreatyet

@s4pm.bsky.social announces CHAMP: Collaborative Healthcare Activity Measurement Platform project, to move #participatorymedicine from evangelism to evidence.

My dear Aussie friends, @georgemargelis.bsky.social & @drlouiseschaper.bsky.social, interviewed me for their podcast drds.us/4mCQa55. We discussed #epatients, #participatorymedicine, & my recent paper in @jmirpub.bsky.social J Participatory Medicine jopm.jmir.org/2025/1/e68911.

@s4pm.bsky.social

Excellent article. As a physician and public health advocate, it makes me angry that we have an ignorant science denier heading Health and Human Services.

I am pleased to share the paper that Nancy Finn and I published in the Journal of Participatory Medicine, about the symbiotic evolution of digital technologies and e-patients.
