Health 2.0 technology is all about patient empowerment and giving patients the information they need to make an impact on their own healthcare. While my colleagues and I have been writing about Health 2.0 tech for some time, it was with great interest that we held a recent conversation with Dr. Jeff Livingston, who is leveraging it to educate and empower the patients he serves in his busy Irving, Texas, MacArthur obstetrics and gynecology practice. As Dr. Livingston points out, he and his partners frequently have only eight minutes to spend with their patients, important decisions need to be made, and this short time can have a life-changing effect on outcomes. Using technology has helped him to maximize the impact and role he plays in this short time with his patients.
