Comments on: Health care 2.0: Crowd-sourced solutions for tomorrow

What's happening to health care as technology progresses? Three of science and biotech's minds sit down to chat about it.

this is such a lame piece. How are these crowdsourced solutions? who is asking for them? Do you know how many patients use video chat with their physicians/surgeon, in an in-patient setting (think OR etc.)? Less than 1%. How many physicians feel "comfortable" to discuss with patients via video link? Very very few. Besides, I don't see how what you are describing above has any thing to do with crowdsourcing.

Yes, crowdsourcing in health care is in its infancy. Jeff Howe, author of Crowdsourcing, posted an interesting piece about it here - http://crowdsourcing.typepad.com/cs/2008/09/crowdsourcing-m.html

And for a peek at crowdsourced data on specific medical conditions, take a look here - http://www.curetogether.com

There's a long way to go, to be sure, but exciting times ahead.
