Mr. Fortin:
The feedback that you have provided about the WHIT 3.O conference has been truly interesting from the perspective of disruptive innovation. Mr. Roy Schoenberg’s health care application brings together a new dimension of meeting the needs of the healthy community with in the U.S. The only concern will be is the healthy community within this country prepare to embrace such tools and how will American Well System remain competitive against other companies such as Microsoft, possible Google, and so forth that are developing similar technologies and have stronger name branding.
As a computer engineer and health care professional, the components of the application appears to be thoroughly develop from the standpoint of efficiency, online convenience, and interactive communications. I hope to see other disruptive innovations that are successful in the future.

I have been developing a similar vision since 1994. Visit Your Telemedical Office at http://www.telemedical.com for a demonstration.
There are a number of problems that are currently being addressed.
1. Patients do not like to take the time to enter their health information into a PHR.
2. Patients want an “inperson ” relationship with the cyberdoctor.
3. The reimbursement model is different and the workflow is different for HMO versus PPO or Medicare patients.
4. Computer/Internet literacy
5. Reliability of internet connections.
6. Ability to collect objective information.
Eventually this vision will become more of a reality. However, it is going to take a few years.
