3rd Annual Geekazine and Friends 2010 Predictions
"Our prediction? 2010 is going to be a COLOSSAL year for health IT. The economic stimulus plan has put $44,000 on the table for every doctor who switches to electronic health records before 2011. Out of the 800,000 doctors in the US, only 4% are already using a computer system in their practice. So, 768,000 doctors will be adopting new technology in 2010. It's a booming sector and one that is being turned upside down at the same time as new vendors push out the legacy hardware systems. Cloud computing, PHR, public health exchanges, iPhone apps…healthcare is finally catching up to the rest of the country."

Anyone working on using new wireless TVs to help the elderly?
"This is a great example of how PHRs can help populations living with conditions. But the challenge with PHRs is to make them actionable. Adoption will remain low until the benefits are more tangible to consumers. And while the elderly population is a prime target, it is also a difficult nut to crack from a usability standpoint."
