We hope everyone from health 2.0 NYC has a safe and enjoyable 4th of July weekend. Relax, enjoy the fireworks, be careful with explosive devices...

We added another All-Star Panelist to the July 21st Meetup. Her name is Aafia Chaudry, MD. She is a founding partner at Noesis, LLC, as well as the CEO of JuvoLab. Dr. Chaudhry is an award-winning, industry-recognized pioneer in the study of key opinion leadership networks, influence networks, and healthcare innovation adoption relating to pharmaceutical life cycle management strategy.

Recently Dr. Chaudry completed a study on the use of Social Media in Oncology and will be giving a short presentation on the topic pre-publication!

The Meetup is filling - after four days it is half full so get your spot today.

Finally, We have one more spot on the Panel for someone in HCSM from a Hospital or institution so please talk it up and see who we can bring in! Thanks!

... and now a word from our sponsor (meaning me in this case :)

If you haven't heard, FairCareMD has been featured on DiscoveringStartups and is in a contest to get the most votes in order to get additional publicity. At this point our biggest challenge is getting the word out to the public so this will help. If you like the idea and support the project please click here to vote for us. It only takes a moment. We are currently in second place to a student educational site. Thanks!

Also please feel welcome to enroll your medical organization on FairCareMD. It is free until we start getting you patients!

Please note, replying to this message send your reply to everyone.

If you just want to send a recommendation or question to me, please use the email address below.

Thanks & Best Regards,

This group is dedicated to advancing innovations that focus on improving patient care with the active involvement of Patients, Physicians, Nurses, Administrators, Engineers, and even Lawyers. If your interest is in improving the practice and performance of medicine, than this is the meetup for you.

Borne of the Health 2.0 international movement, Eugene Borukovich started the NYC chapter in 2008. Our chapter has since grown to become the largest healthcare innovation focused meetup in the world, running events that focus on specific topics such as the impact of social media in Healthcare or our Startup pitch contest called "Pitch Yourself into the Shark Tank." The investments, partnerships and collaborations that have come from this meetup are myriad, as we purposely foster the genesis, growth and development of innovative technology companies. A few of the companies that have presented: Phreesia, Zweena, ZocDoc, HelloHealth, YourNurseIsOn, DrChrono, ComScore, HealthLeap, MyHealthExperience, Healthrageous, WellApps, and a few dozen others.

Be like me, come with an idea, leave with a company. I run this group as my way of saying thanks for helping my concept get from the drawing board to over 250,000 searches for care and the attention of Patients, Physicians, Hospitals, Employers, and VCs across the country with our new healthcare marketplace.

...but this isn't about me, it is what over 1,250 healthcare innovators can do for healthcare.

Who presents here?

Patients who have defined issues to be addressed and / or designed apps to improve their health and the health of others
Physicians who create innovative care models, develop solutios, or simply are looking for new ways to address the problems they see
Entrepreneurs who create new innovative healthcare solutions
Hospital Executives driving development and adoption of new ideas
Nurses who reinvent nursing management or point of care solutions
Investors, Angels, and VCs looking for the next big thing
Pharma, Insurance, and Diagnostics companies that look for new technologies and companies to work with
Pharmacists who design better medication management, adherence, distribution or other systems
Game Designers who make patient education fun
Quantification companies that help people self-monitor (see also Quantified Self meetup)
Engineers, Programmers, and Hackers that invent and enable new care paradigms
Designers who create popular apps
Innovative government leaders seeking positive change
Reporters and Bloggers who want to see the cutting edge before it happens and spread the word
and so many more amazing people and companies...

Mostly what we have are the leaders of the NYC healthcare innovation scene. By putting us all together in one place, we are creating the future of healthcare.

We are always looking for start-ups and individuals to present the ideas or products they are working on. Please be welcome to join the conversation, propose a topic, or suggest an alternative format. We are a largely user-driven group, so suggest a topic and we will do the most popular event.

We also enable more established companies to get their message out to the healthcare innovation community through sponsorship and speaking. So if there is an event, challenge, or product release you would like to talk about, please contact me.

Thanks for visiting, we hope to see you soon!
