July 23, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
These are 2 of the topics in this year’s set of pecha kucha presentations. Jeanne Barnett will take us down the yellow brick road to the world of patient empowerment, and Kurt Mueller will show us the future of technology and how it can improve patient care – and they each get 6 minutes and 40 seconds to do it. It’ll be nothing less than amazing we’re sure.
Due to time constraints we found ourselves limited to 4 presentations this year – but that doesn’t mean we’re we have less content – wait till you see what they can share in a short amount of time!
Welcome Jeanne and Kurt!

July 15, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Everything important to making connections with empowered patients and encouraging healthy behaviors, that is.
If you need coaching on managing a facebook community of over 900,000, you can get that. If you need to learn how to set up a twitter account, you can get that. If you’re wondering what pharma is doing in social media, you can find out from a guy that’s tracking what everyone’s doing and how its working. If you’re interested in learning how to manage a YouTube channel within FDA guidelines, this is the place. Know what a QR code is? If not, you will when you’re done visiting our Innovation Island.
And if you just want to play with an iPad, we’ve got you covered.
1 to 1 and small group coaches (even more than last year), and demo presenters will be available for all this and more.
Don’t miss it!

July 13, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Jen McCabe will be joining us to explain how she plans to get us all up and moving for better health. Jen is CEO/co-founder of Contagion Health, an early stage consumer-centric health social software firm born in 2009 to make healthy behaviors ‘contagious.’ (Tagline: Illness is viral, health can be contagious too).
And they’ve teamed up with Cabot Creamery to make tiny, social bursts of activity easy to fit into your day. Cabot’s sponsored fitness community, “Get Up and Mooove“, is a fun, easy way to make exercise a top priority, one ‘microchoice’ at a time.
Come learn more in September. Welcome Jen!
