ePatient inclusion at Medicine 2.0 |
|
 (Logo credits: Lucien Engelen, one of the co-organizers of Medicine 2.0'10 in Maastricht) Medicine 2.0 has a long history of including patients. One of our first keynote speakers at Medicine 2.0'09 was Epatient Dave (Dave DeBronkart), who subsequently became a rockstar of the epatient movement (and we are proud of having played a role in this). Dave is also on the scientific advisory board of Medicine 2.0'12, and will once again speak - the tentative title of his 2012 talk is "Gimme my damn data - 3 years later" - a follow up of his talk in Toronto 2009. (And Jamie Heywood - cofounder and chairman of PatientsLikeMe - will be a keynote speaker at Medicine 2.0'12 - few other companies had such a revolutionary impact on the empowerment of epatients). About a dozen or so epatients were present at all previous Medicine 2.0 conferences, with reduced or waived registration fees. We are also happy to announce that in 2012 we are once again giving free tickets to qualified epatients (NO healthcare professionals, healthcare students, CEO's of startups etc. please). Epatients interested in participating, please submit an application here. (space is limited - if you want to be sure to attend, we recommend to find a specific sponsor). In addition, we are actively soliciting sponsors for epatients (who will be acknowledged). Moreover, in our registration form, participants can check an option to register for an epatient they know, sponsoring his/her registration fee.

JMIR Medicine 2.0 papers from Stanford conference |
|
| The Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR), the leading journal in eHealth with an Impact Factor of 4.7, is the official journal of the Medicine 2.0 congress series and workshops/events/summits produced under this brand. Today, JMIR is proud to publish the first full paper based on a presentation at Medicine 2.0'11 in Stanford. It is based on the award winning presentation of Bassam Kadry at Medicine 2.0'11, and can be found as full paper here: Kadry B, Chu LF, Kadry B, Gammas D, Macario A Analysis of 4999 Online Physician Ratings Indicates That Most Patients Give Physicians a Favorable Rating J Med Internet Res 2011;13(4):e95 URL: http://www.jmir.org/2011/4/e95/ doi: 10.2196/jmir.1960 The Multimedia Appendix in this paper is a video of his Medicine 2.0 talk, and is also published as Medicine 2.0/JMIR podcast on itunes. Thanks you to all other presenters who have already submitted a full paper of their talk to JMIR or the Medicine 2.0 Proceedings. Over the course of the next months, these papers will appear either in JMIR or in the Medicine 2.0 Proceedings (as Stanford was unable to sponsor a "Theme Issue" this year, these papers will appear within regular JMIR issues as soon as they are accepted). For details on the Medicine 2.0/JMIR partnership see the Call for Papers which was handed out to all presenters at Medicine 2.0'11 in Stanford (our apologies that the CfP did not make it into the program booklet this year). A short reminder for Medicine 2.0'11 presenters: If you want to take advantage of the significant Article Processing Fee discount for Medicine 2.0 presenters, the deadline to submit the full paper to JMIR is within 2 months after the conference, which is November 18th, 2011. Missed the submission deadline for full papers? No problem! Presenters can submit thir full paper to JMIR at any time later after the deadline, but will then not be able to take advantage of the Article Processing Fee discount. Or submit to the Medicine 2.0 Proceedings (within 6 months after the conference, deadline March 18th, 2012). |

How to use the QR Codes on the badges |
|
  Medicine 2.0 attendees will note QR codes on Medicine 2.0 badges, which contain a URL to the profile page of each participant (or another URL which attendees specified when they registered). Use an iphone/android app like Redlaser to scan he badge of the person you are talking to. We combined this powerful tool with the Medicine 2.0 Social Network, which means not only can you see the profile of the person you are chatting with when you scan the QR code, but that person is also automatically added to your personal profile page as a "user you have met"... Apart from having a nice logbook of who you met at #med2, you can use this to expose your contact information (email address) selectively to people you met or you added as colleagues or friends. Business cards are so out... Let's see who wins the award for making most connections at Medicine 2.0! (Note: When you make a connection for the first time, after scanning the QR code you will have to login so the relationship can be stored. Before the conference starts, make sure you have your username/pw handy - use the "forgot password" option if not. Also, before the congress starts, edit your profile to review/change your privacy preferences - we recommend to show at least your name, affiliation and country publicly to all visitors so you appear on the attendee list, but make your contact information only available to people you connect with. BY DEFAULT, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOT VISIBLE TO YOUR CONNECTIONS, SO MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE THIS SO PEOPLE WHOM YOU BEFRIEND CAN GET IN TOUCH). |

The Medicine 2.0 Social Network |
|
| The Medicine 2.0 Social Network on this site allows all users of this website to create a profile page and to add relationships with other users, speakers, or attendees of the conference. To become a member of the network you do not have to be a attendee, simply create an account here. While the med2sn is already operational since about 5 months, we just now have added email notifications to the system, i.e. whenever somebody creates a relationship with a user, this user will receive a notification. This can be controlled via Edit My Profile (in addition, there is a URL in the notification email which allows the user to suppress these notifications. As a starting point for the med2sn, click on the menu point SPEAKERS/PARTICIPANTS, and connect to past and current Medicine 2.0 presenters, or click on the list of ABSTRACTS to connect to users with similar research interests (click on the author names to see the authors' profile).

Registration for Medicine 2.0'11 at Stanford opens |
|
| Social media and mobile computing have transformed daily life and our ability to communicate. Now, those technologies are sparking new patient-caregiver relationships and innovative biomedical research. Leading figures using social media and mobile computing applications to create wellness and new ways of delivering health care will meet at the Stanford University School of Medicine Sept. 16-18 for the Fourth World Congress on Social Media and Web 2.0 in Health, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, also known as Medicine 2.0. Registration for the limited-seating conference at the medical school’s Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge opened April 1 at http://www.medicine20congress.com/. “We’ll have the world’s experts presenting scientific studies to help people understand how best to use Web 2.0 and social media for health,” said Larry Chu, MD, an assistant professor of anesthesia at the School of Medicine who is the organizing chair of the conference. “People interested in what’s happening now at the bleeding-edge of Medicine 2.0 will learn all of that at the congress.” This is the first time the Medicine 2.0 congress will be held in the United States. It will take place the second and third day of the conference — Sept. 17 and 18 — and will feature data-driven studies of the latest projects applying Web 2.0 and mobile computing applications to health, patient care and biomedical research. Reflecting the global nature of information technologies, the organizers expect people from more than 25 countries to participate. More than 150 research presentations have been submitted. In addition to the research track, there will be practice and business tracks. To take advantage of Stanford's position as an incubator of Silicon Valley innovation, the conference organizers have devoted an day to gather leading thinkers and innovators from this region and beyond to discuss the development and use of technologies aimed at transforming biomedical research and health promotion. It will provide physicians and health researchers an opportunity to interact with software developers, private investors, public funding agencies, Silicon Valley executives and Web-savvy patients. “I can't think of a better location than Stanford for Medicine 2.0,” said Chu. “We’re in the heart of Silicon Valley. This is where so much of the technology is being developed and where incredible innovation happens.” The cost for registering is $1,388, though some discounts and scholarships are available. Also, the amount can be prorated for those who do not wish to attend all three days. Confirmed speakers include: Lee Aase, head of The Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media; Charlie Cheever, co-founder of Quora and formerly with Facebook and Amazon.com; Thomas Goetz, MPH, executive editor of Wired magazine; along with presentations by many prominent e-health bloggers and writers. The Stanford Summit will be kicked off with a talk by Abraham Verghese, MD, bestselling author of Cutting for Stone and The Tennis Partner and a professor of medicine at Stanford. The Medicine 2.0 congress keynote speeches will be given by Jennifer Aaker, PhD, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and author of The Dragonfly Effect: Quick, Effective Ways to Harness Social Media for Impact; Susannah Fox, the leader of health research at the Pew Internet and American Life Project; and Dan Zarella, a social media scientist. Medicine 2.0 is an annual conference that was convened in Toronto in 2008 and 2009, followed by last year’s event in Maastricht, Netherlands. Medicine 2.0 was started by Gunther Eysenbach MD, MPH, an associate professor of health policy, management and evaluation at the University of Toronto and editor and publisher of the Journal of Medical Internet Research. He is also a member of the scientific program committee for this year’s event. (Source: Stanford University, Media Release) |

Request for Proposals: Hosts/Organizers for 2012 Conference (or Workshop/Tutorial) |
|
| Request for Proposals: Medicine 2.0’13/'14 (Spring/Fall) Conferences & Medicine 2.0® Workshops/Tutorials 2012-2014 The Medicine 2.0® conference series – organized in 2008 and 2009 in Toronto, in 2010 in Maastricht, in 2011 in Stanford, and 2012 in Boston at Harvard – continues to go viral and continues to grow. We have successfully developed the Medicine 2.0. “brand” which is now associated with a premier knowledge translation event in the field of emerging technology and participatory, collaborative, open healthcare. Medicine 2.0® is not only a conference series, but also a digital media series (Medicine 2.0® proceedings, podcast/itunes and YouTube channels), which are used to disseminate talks beyond the audience physically attending the conference. Hosting the Medicine 2.0® conference will allow organizations to position themselves as leaders in the field, and help them showcasing local research, development, and business to a global audience. Apart from building on an existing brand, partnering with Medicine 2.0® allows hosts/organizers to tap into an existing community of almost 40.000 JMIR subscribers and almost 2.000 individuals in the Medicine 2.0 database. Starting in 2011, the Medicine 2.0® conference website will allow social networking of past and present participants, see for example www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/social/admin2), and an iphone/ipad app is also in preparation. Medicine 2.0® events are cutting-edge, innovative conferences and workshops dedicated to improving health and health care using information and communication technologies, with a focus on web-based technologies and social media. Medicine 2.0® events “walk the talk” in terms of trying to maximize the use of social media in preparation for, during and after the event. Our values include openness, a non-commercial approach, and an “evidence-based” content, beyond the hype often presented in health 2.0 tradeshows. Starting in 2013, we are planning a spring conference in Europe, and a fall conference in the North America, hosted by a local organizing committee, and supported centrally by the original, core Medicine 2.0® team (“producer”). The website will remain at http://www.medicine20congress.com, and the submission and dissemination process will remain centralized, to ensure consistent standards and quality. Organizers interested in becoming involved in hosting these large main conferences are invited to contact the producer to request the full Medicine 2.0 Conference 2013-2015 RFP document. While the spring/fall conference remain the main events, we are now also considering to promote smaller workshops and tutorials under the Medicine 2.0 label. Organizers interested in organizing smaller events should contact the producer for to request the full Workshop/Tutorial RFP document.

Information and Reminders for Presenters |
|
| Please see schedule for details on your presentation date/time/room (except posters). Oral presenters should prepare 15 minute talks (+ 5 minute discussion). Panels may have different arrangements - contact your panel organizer (When in doubt, divide the time of your session by the number of presenters and you'll get the approximate time per presenter including discussion). Some 90 min session slots have only 3 talks - in this case presenters have 20 mins + 10 min discussion time. We will provide a presentation laptop (PC) - presenters are asked to bring their presentation (Powerpoint file) on a USB thumb drive and copy it to the presentation laptop (at the latest in the morning or the break before their session). Please name your file as follows: day-room-time-lastname.ppt . E.g. 17-cr2-1330-amin.ppt refers to a presentation on the 17th, in room CR2, at 1:30 pm by the first author Amin. 18-aud-1530-dzenowagis.ppt would be a presentation in the Auditorium at 3:30 pm by Dzenowagis, and so on (see schedule). We do have wireless Internet connection, but we advise not to rely on a working connection for presentations - prepare screenshots instead. We will also provide extra screens showing #med2 tagged Tweets, so you can involve the audience by asking questions. It is NOT necessary to submit PPTs in advance - bring them on a USB drive to the conference. Poster presenters should be advised that poster boards are 6ft (wide) by 3 ft (height). Do not use push pins - velcro only! (please bring velcro tape). Presenters at the unconference session should preferably present without Powerpoint slides, and limit their intervention to 15 min. If you plan to talk during the unconference session, please add a note at http://medicine20.crowdvine.com/posts/4815231 |

| The winner of the 2009 JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award has been chosen: We are happy to announce that the inaugural JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award goes to the presentation "Patients Informing Practice: Post-Marketing Drug Data in PatientsLikeMe, an Patient-Centered Online Community" by Jeana H Frost, Sally Okun, Paul Wicks, and James Heywood. The paper will be presented as closing keynote at the Medicine 2.0'09 conference in Toronto, on Sept 17-18th (http://www.medicine20congress.com). In the winning research abstract, Frost and colleagues describe how PatientsLikeMe, an online platform with over 40.000 members, offers a unique real-time approach to understand both utilization and performance of drugs across different populations. This patient-supplied data can provide evidence about secondary uses of drugs , or about drugs that are off-patent and therefore unlikely to be studied systematically. The JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award is valued at US$1000 and is designed to encourage and facilitate publication of a full paper of the research in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR). The Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR, http://www.jmir.org) is - with an impact factor of 3.6 - the leading and most influential peer-reviewed journal in the health informatics, ehealth, and health services disciplines, and is sponsoring an award for the best paper presented at Medicine 2.0®. We look forward to hear Dr Frost's presentation at Medicine 2.0'09, and to read the full paper in JMIR!
