Oct 18 2011: Your thoughts around health care and not sickness treatment resonate strongly. We take health for granted (in most cases) and as a result we are focused on restoring health when we lose it rather than making sure that we do not lose our heatlh in the first place. We definitely need the sickness treatment but the question is how can we can raise the importance of prevention, how can prevention become one of the key objectives of the healthcare system and then how can we get all participants to be aligned in the achivement of that objectives.
I think it is encouraging that more and more people are starting to think about prevention but more remains to be done.
Oct 16 2011: This is very interesting. My thoughts are along the same lines. It is also quite fascinating to see the whole explosion of research and activities in the area of incorporating technologies into healthcare.

Oct 15 2011: A lot of changes are being proposed and debated here in the UK. As in most countries, the healthcare system is inefficient.
It will be interesting to hear more from you about what role you see technology playing in healthcare particularly mobile. as a whole, the industry is very conservative (for the right reasons).
Feb 17 2011: Thanks, Darina! you are right that there is a whole constellation of books related to these. I have read a lot of the books referenced in Presence. Happy to meet you and yes, I hope we will have the chance to meet in person.
Feb 16 2011: Flow, by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly and Presence, Peter Senge, Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, Betty Sue Flowers - these books give me inspiration when I need one.
