Wall St Journal: Tools Help Patients Interface With Doctors
[Richard Adler, who posted the following, is an IFTF Research Affiliate.
His relationship with Zume is completely independent of his work for
IFTF, and this post in no way reflects an endorsement on IFTF's part of
Zume. We do, however, think that the Zuri is a great example of a new
breed of mobile health products, which we will be discussing at our conference on "Reinventing Health Care in a Mobile World."]
An article in the August 19th Wall Street Journal discusses new devices that remind patients to take their medications and track compliance.
The article features the Zuri, a small handheld device developed by Zume Life. Rajiv Mehta is CEO of Zume and has been involved in past Health Horizons meetings. I am serving on the company's advisory board and am one of the first beta testers of the Zuri.
The Journal article also describes "self care tools" from Intel and Microsoft.
