As a senior I am very encouraged to hear of these experts involvement in health care issues. The near and long term future of health care can’t be left to the politicians.

Wake up San Diego! Get with the user generated movement in health care. Whether Bil:Pil, Health 2.0 or HealthCamp; we are national lagers.

Join the conversation….lets take ownership for what ails our health care system and enter the dialog as empowered agents of change. This is one venue; get involved!

Whether PopTech this week, BIL or TED someone needs to address the broader link between open source solutions like LINUX and the potential for open source solutions to address under funded areas like rare disease or pediatric devices.

Mary,

Good article. We have also been following the emergence in San Diego of what appears to be a unique Wireless/Healthcare cluster spurred in large part by Qualcomm, the academic community and young companies locally developing products to monitor blood sugar, heart rhythms and patient vital signs.

In 2005 the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance emerged in San Diego, an organization of companies interested in wireless health care. More recently, a pilot program to create the world’s first physician-scholar program to focus on wireless health care research has resulted in two physicians who will spend two years in new positions at the Scripps Translational Science Institute In addition, San Diego is host to wireless IT healthcare research at UCSD, the related California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology – CalIT2, and an emerging hub for computer-analytics/wireless health care startup companies including Santech, DexCom, and Triage Wireless.

Thanx for your observations. We are watching with interest from across the country on the East Coast.
