• What you are about to see may or may not be representative of the entire population.

• There could be words that you may not fully understand. That is part of the issues we will continue to face in the future.

• Whilst not explicit, this presentation is intended for a healthcare audience.

• This presentation should be 4 minutes in length. Better get going.

Information Overload?

• From my 321 subscriptions, over the last 30 days I read 22,223 items, starred 18 items, shared 242 items, and emailed 0 items.

• How could a health professional use this kind of information?

• How could a patient use this kind of information?

Facebook Connect

• In November 2008 Facebook drew 200 million unique worldwide visitors; more than 1 in 5 people who accessed the Internet that month visited the site.

• In February 2009 Facebook had over 4 million daily mobile users.

• Facebook “connects” to every single one of the services in my digital dossier.

• ESpace and HealthSpace “connect” to none.

The Big Question

• How are future healthcare systems going to cater for Generation Us?

Thank You!
