Improved Medical Records


Here's a complementary, and I think much more approachable, take on that last post. Ryan Panchadsaram's bio is certainly impressive; I think ginger.io has crossed my radar screen before. Now to look at the winners of the Health Design Challenge, find out a little more about Blue Button Plus, and wonder why I'm not hearing about these products from my doctors or being urged to use them. I'm ready for more of that dialog Panchadsaram talks about.

Holding on to Circumstance

This paragraph from Scott Belsky's post at Medium seems key to me.

In a world of twitter, email, endless texts, internet wonder (and now Medium!), create windows of non-stimulation in your day and life - whether through habits or rituals, when you can tune out of everything else and tune into yourself.

It seems more realistic to me to set aside "windows of non-stimulation" when possible or when needed than to insist on a Sabbath shutdown every seven days.
