COURSEWARE
We've updated the spreadsheet used in IN3 workshops to gauge the tech-readiness of an organization, industry or market. In the last few years, new social media sites, consumer electronics and smartphones have entered the tech column. President Obama, Health 2.0 and the Wall Street Crash dominate the culture column. Jack thinks we should build one for healthcare. What do you think?
WEBSITE
To keep up with the web conversations about disruptive healthcare innovations, we're packaging our hNBIC research notes into a new daily feature, HealthMemes. (A frank homage to TechMeme.) The site links to the transformative nano-, bio-, info-, cogsci and business model developments we talk about in our seminars.

ANALYSIS On the face of it, Google Health released this month in beta is just another personal medical record system similar to a hundred others including Microsoft's HealthVault. But Google has designed a specifically open health record: providers, payers and all kinds of service companies can use the published Application Programmer Interface to link their data to your Google health file.
