Let it be known that I am officially “coining” the term Health Graph. Why? Heck, I don’t know but I figured that I better claim it before Mark Zuckerberg or some other Web2.0 company started to mention it.
Actually, the notion of the term came up today as we met with a large company who we used Facebook as an analogy of change:healthcare’s forthcoming enhancements to our current offering for employers. We began to construct the following premise – If your friends relationships and the many inferred linkages that you have and maintain via Facebook reflect your “Social Graph”, then change:healthcare enables consumers to self-manage and leverage their own medical expenses, provider and prescription experiences with others and determine one’s own consumer Health Graph.
Nahhhhhh. Sounds too pie-in-the-sky healthcare consumerist.
Or is it?
