A Healing Blog
Everyone from Google and Microsoft to a bunch of small start-up companies and venture capitalists in Silicon Valley is getting involved in this explosion of new Web-based "personal health technologies." The big software companies are creating sites where people can collect, store and share health records for their whole families. Numerous smaller companies are busy creating places like MySpace or Facebook, tailored to people living with various illnesses, from sleep apnea to diabetes to Lou Gehrig's disease.
From my side, I'm just astounded to think that one sick mom in California can reach out to so many fellow patients, create a community, and actually turn the whole thing into a business. It sure has helped me feel a lot less alone and a lot less frightened about living with diabetes.
