I’m a pediatrician and preventive medicine specialist with a masters in public health. I’ve been called the Doctor of the Future and one of the top 10 most creative people in health care by Fast Company. I’m also one of Esquire’s 2009 Best and Brightest “Radicals and Rebels Who Are Changing the World.”
I started a practice in NYC on September 24, 2007:
- patients would visit my website
- see my Google calendar
- choose a time and input their symptoms
- my iphone would alert me
- I would make a house call
- they’d pay me via paypal
- we’d follow up by email, IM, or videochat
This concept became Hello Health via a partnership with Myca so other doctors could practice this way. Hello Health is a mixture of secure social network and electronic medical record that enables doctors and patients to connect both in their office and online via email, IM, and video chat.
I now have a design firm called The Future Well. We design innovative products and services that create health and happiness.
I’m very active on my blog.
