As preventable medical conditions such as obesity continue to grow so does the need for patient involved healthcare. The doctor-patient relationship is critically important to bridging the gap between passive patients and informed medical consumers. Innovative technologies are the enabling factor for this, but are they succeeding — and how long will it be before we start seeing significant changes?

Eventually, the scale will be integrated into the floor (or chair/BP combo)... Add devices on the fly (from O2 sat to other non-invasive tests to diabetes monitors).
Data get blasted to your mobile device automagically... synced to MSHealy Vault or Google Health or service of choice... which means your mobile device becomes a NHIN node.
Experts predict that by 2030 more than half the U.S. population will be obese, and 438 million people worldwide will be diagnosed with diabetes. Today, nearly 80% of all new diagnoses of Type 2 diabetes are directly attributed to uncontrolled obesity.

Pedicine App helps parents to track their family's health by following up vaccinations, allergies, medical conditions, symptoms, fevers, pains, aches as they happen. Timeline is the feature to view, filter and search items and quickly select and export items as needed.
In Southern California, diabetes plagues the Latino population, said Elizabeth Burner, MD, MPH, a research fellow at the Department of Emergency Medicine at LAC and USC. But due to language, culture, and other barriers, these patients may not manage their disease optimally.
Burner tested the use of a program that used mobile phones to text educational and motivational messages to diabetes patients to improve their understanding of the disease and encourage meaningful lifestyle changes. During the study, researchers texted reminders about nutrition, medications, and exercise, prompting some participants to adopt healthier behaviors.
Because mobile phones are nearly ubiquitous in America, "mHealth" could be a powerful public health approach.
"The SC CTSI provided funding and a way for us to look at this kind of technology and develop a way to get more deeply into the community and turn our idea into something real," said Burner.
