Radio Interview: Unity Stoakes Discusses OrganizedWisdom's Agnostic Approach to Search with the BlogSoma Docs

I did a fun radio interview last night with Dr. Mark, Dr. Jeb and Professor Val from BlogSoma.  It was an intereting conversation about OrganizedWisdom and our approach to using human guides and physician reviewers to build our WisdomCards, and the different types of health topics including wellness, lifestyle and health education topics we're making available to health seekers. 

The segment is about 30 minutes long and you can get to the segment here.

Health Wisdom Podcast #5: Joshua Seidman

Joshua Seidman, President of the Center for Information Therapy, participated in our most recent Health Wisdom Podcast where we feature people working to push for innovations in health care. 

Beyond covering the basics like the goals of The Center for Information Therapy and the information therapy movement, we focused on how new technologies, social media, and "connected" patients are impacting the quality of the information available and how people are getting information.

You can also read Joshua Seidman's new blog here, and find out about how to help promote information therapy and get involved with the IX Action Alliance at www.ixcenter.org.

(Technical glitch note: there is a slight delay between question and answer. For some reason the audio overlaps and leaves pauses between questions.  We will post transcripts in the near future).

Health Wisdom Podcast Episode #4: A New Way to Handle Medical Bills...

If you want more proof that there is a wave of innovation, progress and passion hard at work to transform healthcare today, then you won't want to miss this podcast with Christopher Parks and check out the online service he founded recently called MedBillManager.com.

MedBillManager is a new web application that makes dealing with medical bills easier and allows you to compare what you're paying vs. others in your area. It's a young entrepreneurial start-up, but the company is already making waves by taking on established products from Intuit and launching before a new service from Revolution Health Group.

The MedBillManager vision is strong in that as the community continues to grow, the collective participation of all the users will provide valuable aggregate data to help people better understand what others in their area are paying for the same exact treatments.  There is little doubt that this type of transparency should help to start to level the palying field in interesting ways.
