OrganizedWisdom Gets Ready for Health 2.0 in San Francisco with Big News

Are you going to Health 2.0 in San Francisco this week?

We are...and we're thrilled to be presenting for the third time at this event. In fact, we're the only company to be chosen to speak at all three conferences, an honor we are very proud of given the influence and impact Health 2.0 has marshalled since its inception.

If you are planning on attending the conference, or happen to be in the area this week, we hope to connect with you in person.  Come see us speak, give us your feedback, and let us know how we're doing.    

This Wednesday, our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Howard Krein will be presenting how OrganizedWisdom has changed health search by organizing hand-crafted search results for the long-tail of health topics...the way most people actually search today.  The panel called, Search in the Long Tail & Intelligence in Communities, features several of the the most important companies and thought leaders in the Health 2.0 space including:

• West Shell, CEO, Healthline Networks
• Tom Eng, President, Healia/Meredith
• Venky Harinarayan, Co-Founder, Kosmix/RightHealth
• Steven Krein, CEO, Organized Wisdom
• Daniel Palestrant, CEO, Sermo 
• John DeSouza, CEO, MedHelp
• Bill Allman, GM, HealthCentral
  
• Ben Heywood, CEO, PatientsLikeMe

Much of the promise of Health 2.0 is in searching for and finding exact, personalized health information content, especially for rare or hard to categorize conditions. Much of that information is in social networks, on blogs, in forums and other hard to find communities where great health information is being shared everyday. Matthew Holt & Indu Subaiya will introduce a new framework looking at the evolution of search into the long tail. And we're excited to participate and show exactly how our WisdomCards work to guide people to this hard to find content.  We'll even be showing some top secret data from our search logs in real time so attendees can see exactly the types of topics that make up the long tail for health search.  You'll be amazed at what you see.

And on Thursday, we'll be participating in a very fun panel called the Health Search Bakeoff, being moderated by Craig Stoltz.  We'll be showing the audience exactly how people use our service to find what they are looking for by conducting live searches after being given a random health search by the panel.  This will be a great way to show off how our expert guides are able to hand-craft exceptional results and guide people to the very best results on over 20,000 WisdomCard topics.

We're also excited because we have some big news we'll be announcing on Wednesday morning via this blog and live from the conference floor.  Our twitter followers and blog readers will get the news first of course.  It's big news that is going to make a huge impact on health search as well as health professionals. More details on Wednesday...

We'll be out and about Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and looking forward to meeting you in person or hearing your feedback.  We'll be taking lots of video and pictures to post on the blog too.
