I work on a telemedicine product using Google Glass Enterprise and the current version of our product was shaped greatly from feedback provided by one early user (physician). It really focused our use cases and made the product much better. That being said, optimizing the current medical process will only get you so far. It will probably not result in large disruptive positive changes. Those will have to come from outside the current process.

Rest assured that anything that makes a significant impact on health will cause people to completely freak out if it hasn't been vetted via the current medical system, even though this vetting process kills a lot of therapies that people then lament that they wish they had access to.
- mgamache 8y agoBalancing safety vs progress is tricky. Additionally, people's perception of risk is also really bad so the resulting choices are sub-optimal.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoI'm well aware of that. I have a form of cystic fibrosis. I used to be on multiple maintenance drugs. I currently manage my condition with diet and lifestyle and no longer take medication. I also no longer belong to any CF lists. It's too much drama. I was constantly attacked and, among other things, accused of irresponsibly endangering lives for trying to talk to people about what I found helpful.
