#health2stat consumer driven health and patient generated data – the world is changing – slowly

http://2.healthca.mp/1roZDdz# Q&A
Responsibility is being forced onto the patient. Medical professionals are still concerned about patient generated data and the reliability of that data.

My view is this: is one measure taken in an office setting more accurate and reliable than months of data collected by the patient.

I argue that even if the patient is not expert they will still be consistent in their method and the trend of many readings is ultimately more valuable than a single reading taken in what might be a stressful situation for the patient.

How do you ensure patients are trained to use Equipment reliably??? Have you heard of this thing called YouTube ???
