1. I’m a doctor in New York City.

    I’ve been called the Doctor of the Future and one of the top 10 most creative people in health care. I have a consulting firm called The Future Well. We’re an innovation consultancy for healthy products, brands, and businesses.

    After completing a residency in pediatrics and one in preventive medicine at Johns Hopkins, I started a practice for my neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2007:

    1. Patients would visit my website
    2. See my Google calendar
    3. Choose a time and input their symptoms
    4. My iphone would alert me
    5. I would make a house call
    6. They’d pay me via paypal
    7. We’d follow up by email, IM, videochat, or in person

    This concept became Hello Health 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’m very active on my blog.

  3. I get some press.

    Here is a search for Jay Parkinson.

    And lots more…

    Fast Company: “The Doctor of the Future: Innovations like these are beginning to free U.S. medicine from the strictures that have given us the world’s costliest health care, but not the best health care.”

    Esquire: One of the “Best and Brightest Radicals and Rebels Who are Changing the World.”

    Health Affairs: “If you want a glimpse of what health care could look like a few years from now, consider “Hello Health,” the Brooklyn-based primary care practice that is fast becoming an emblem of modern medicine.”

    Hospitals & Health Networks: “Your Future Chief of Staff?” Medical school, a master’s in public health and preventive medicine and a pediatrics residency matured and deepened Parkinson’s involvement with information technology. Laptops, e-mail and cell phones weren’t new ways to do old tasks; they were primary conduits of learning, friendship and relationships with colleagues. Instant data and communication permeated his daily life, influencing decisions large and small.

    Newsweek: “One part doctor, one part tech innovator, one part salesman: the sum of those parts have made Parkinson the face of a new kind of health care. At his New York City clinic, his team of doctors uses dozens of means of communication—instant messaging, e-mail, texting, etc.—to communicate with their patients and each other.”

    The Boston Globe: “The simplicity and visual appeal of demonstrations of the Hello Health software platform have made him a celebrity in the health technology world.”

    NY Post: “A ‘revolutionary, new’ practice that has ‘has managed to do what the federal government has not yet — namely, provide fast, affordable, high-quality, easily accessible health care.’”

    GOOD Magazine: “The platform is as straightforward to use as scheduling a trip to the Genius Bar on Apple.com.”

    CNN: “We still see our doctor the same way our grandparents did. I think we’re about to see big changes in this area.”
