Afternoon Keynote
Chief Health Strategist, Googlemore...Story and Health: We learn from stories because they are the context of our lives. The best clinicians are the ones who discover and understand their patients' stories. But stories are often lost as we attempt to make healthcare more effective and efficient with new technologies. We can rediscover the role of story in health and use it to improve care.

We have to learn from the narrative to improve Health Care. This is not marketing this is R&D.
GoogleHealth - a great project but it failed. But they learned a lot. No sequel in the works. Upcoming work focused on search side. Good things coming.
Power of GoogleHealth was not the UI and web site. It was the under the hood conn
GooglePlus has potential to support Doctor Patient online connections.
