High-powered webcast to NNLM Feb 21, 2019. Introduces the Superpatient concept, contrasts it with generic "citizen scientists," gives several examples, addresses the cultural obstacles that hold back progress, and asks how medical libraries might encourage and support superpatients in their efforts.
This document outlines the principles of participatory medicine as described by "e-Patient Dave" deBronkart. It discusses how access to information empowers patients and allows them to contribute to medical knowledge. When patients are informed and engaged in their care, they can perform better. The emergence of online communities and social media has created new opportunities for patients to connect with information and each other outside of traditional healthcare systems. True empowerment involves treating patients as partners in decisions about their own care.
This document profiles Dave deBronkart, known as "e-Patient Dave", an advocate for empowering patients through access to health information and online communities. It discusses his background and work promoting participatory medicine. It outlines how patients can help healthcare achieve its potential by checking their medical records, asking clinicians to share screens, accessing open notes, reviewing hospital safety scores, accessing podcasts and case managers. The overall message is that when patients are informed and engaged, medicine can better achieve its goals.

The 2014 annual meeting of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, in Nashville. One of my favorite talks of all time - nurse practitioners are by nature highly committed to putting power and competence in the hands of patients.
Connects to the social roots of the movement, particularly the women's movement, and emphasizes the patient's view: is it really a PROBLEM that we're surviving long enough to get chronic conditions?? Standing ovation.
- Dave deBronkart is an advocate for engaged patients and participatory medicine. He founded the e-Patient Scholars Academy.
- In 2007, he was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer but researched online and worked with other patients, which helped him find more effective treatment.
- Connected patients have access to more information sources than ever before due to the internet and social media. This shifts the traditional sources of medical knowledge and competence.
Expanded version of a short panel presentation on the subject of mHealth. My point was that mHealth has meaning only in the larger context of an important reality: the best quality care depends on having the best information, so THAT is what we need to be thinking about.
This document discusses the empowerment of patients through access to online health information and connections with other patients. It describes how e-patients, or engaged and empowered online patients, are becoming recognized as important partners in healthcare. The story of a patient who was able to access information from other patients online and find better treatment options for his rare form of cancer is provided as an example of how online connections can benefit patients.

The document discusses how patients can help improve healthcare systems. It notes that patients are often an underutilized resource in information systems, and that the IOM recommends engaging and empowering patients as vital members of care teams. The author shares their personal experience of being diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and how connecting with other patients online helped them learn about treatment options from their doctor. Measuring patient activation and engagement can help achieve the IOM's goal of prioritizing patient needs and perspectives to improve care quality and lower costs.
This document outlines Dave deBronkart's journey from being diagnosed with cancer in 2007 to becoming a prominent advocate for patient engagement and empowerment. It discusses how he used online resources and connected with other patients online to research his condition, treatment options, and find doctors. This marked a transformation from a closed medical system to an open network where patients can access information and support from each other. The document argues that engaged, empowered patients will be an essential part of the healthcare system going forward to address the growing demographic of older patients. It suggests the concept of patient engagement is going through a paradigm shift as more recognize the importance of patient perspectives in care.
The document summarizes the story of "e-Patient Dave" deBronkart and his role in advancing participatory medicine. It discusses how he came to be involved in this movement through his experience with cancer discovery and recovery in 2007-2008, which led him to become a blogger on these issues in 2008. It then summarizes some of his key insights, such as emphasizing that "patient" is not a third person term, and how access to online information and communities of other patients were invaluable for him during his own health issues.
This document profiles Dave deBronkart, known as "e-Patient Dave", a cancer survivor and advocate for engaged, empowered patients. It discusses how the rise of the internet and digital connectivity has shifted where medical information and expertise can be found, allowing patients to connect with each other and participate more actively in their own care. It argues that patients should have access to their own clear medical data and notes several examples of how patient engagement and empowerment can improve health outcomes.
The history of medicine has been a continuous evolution of methods, models, and paradigms as what's possible has changed with new technology. Today the frontier of medicine is "superpatients" - patients who don't just receive care, they literally extend science and create treatments: truly "super" patients. Video of this talk will be available soon!

This document provides 10 reasons why patients should Google their medical conditions. It begins with a story about a man brought to the emergency room for ingesting an unknown substance. The doctors shut his laptop without determining what he ingested. The document then lists 10 reasons patients should Google: 1) Knowledge is power 2) People perform better when informed 3) No one knows everything 4) Medical advice changes over time 5) New information doesn't instantly reach all doctors 6) Online information can reach patients directly 7) Useful information exists outside medical journals 8) Some medical studies have flaws 9) Patients have a right to know their options 10) Patients have the most at stake in their own health.
Dave deBronkart discusses the rise of the participatory patient. He became an engaged e-patient after being diagnosed with cancer in 2007. He researched his condition online and connected with other patients, which helped him receive the best treatment. deBronkart believes that empowering patients with information enables them to make informed healthcare choices and become partners in their care. When patients are engaged at this level, it can improve outcomes for all.
Dave deBronkart came to focus on participatory healthcare after being diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer in 2007. Through online research and connecting with other patients, he learned about an immunotherapy treatment that significantly extended his survival, whereas his doctors had given him only a few months to live. This experience led him to become an advocate for empowering patients through technology and social media. He argues that empowered, engaged patients who actively manage their own healthcare can help doctors spend more time with each patient and potentially achieve better health outcomes.
As patient engagement (aka consumer engagement) earns attention, the question increasingly arises: “Where do we start? What can we do?” More specifically, “What do we mean when we say ‘patient engagement’?” The Patient Activation Measure is a powerful tool for understanding where someone's at and how to interact with them differently.
Opening keynote at DIA Europe, Vienna, Feb 5, 2019. Our paradigm of patient is significantly out of date, and it's holding back progress - a new class of "Superpatients" are *extending* science when the doctors are out of answers. Amazing!

The document discusses the transformation of healthcare knowledge access and sharing due to the internet and rise of connected patients. It notes how patients can now connect to information and each other online, changing the traditional closed system of healthcare knowledge. Examples are provided of early visions of online health from the 1990s becoming reality, as well as specific patient innovators creating open source medical devices and data sharing projects today. The challenges institutions face in adapting to these changes are also addressed.
The document discusses how views of aging have changed since the 1970s. It notes that in her writing from that time, author Simone de Beauvoir seemed fatalistic and hopeless about aging. However, the document suggests de Beauvoir would now encourage empowerment rather than fatalism, given advances in medicine, health, technology, and individuals' increased access to information. Empowering patients and families with information helps them make choices and improve their health and care.

more “at stake”
in how well
healthcare works?
Yet we’re often excluded
from talks with
“all stakeholders”

23. My patient peers told me:
• This is an uncommon disease –
get to a hospital that does a lot of cases
• There’s no cure,

• Don’t let them give you anything else first
• Here are four doctors in your area who do it
26. How can it be
that the most useful
and relevant and
up-to-the-minute information

27. Donald Lindberg MD
Director of the National Library of Medicine
“If I read two journal articles every night,
at the end of a year I’d be 400 years behind.” (2004)
2012:
• 2,200 articles / day
• 10,000 conditions

28. The lethal lag time:
2-5 years
During this time,
people who might have benefitted can die.
Patients have all the time in the world
to look for such things.
The time it takes after successful research is completed
before publication is completed and the article’s been read.
29. Compare with
- “To Err is Human” (98,000 deaths/yr Nov 1999)
Death by Googling:
Not.
(Dr. Gunther Eysenbach, Europe: 0 deaths found
in a three year search)

• Moving it takes effort
• Slow and predictable

does not triumph
by convincing its opponents
and making them see the light,
but rather because
its opponents eventually die,
and a new generation grows up
that is familiar with it.”
