NCCN Conference Offers a Peek into Internet Medicine’s Future

Posted on March 6, 2008October 24, 2024 by Dissent

A press release from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network:

Soon the Internet may hold your medical record where you and your doctor can access it at all hours. Even if you are undergoing a complicated chemotherapy regimen, your computer may prompt you to follow doctor’s orders and, via a daily questionnaire, alert your doctor to any new problems, predicted roundtable participants at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s 13th Annual Conference, March 5-9.

Former AOL chief Steve Case said he launched RevolutionHealth.com just more than a year ago in part because his late brother, who died of a brain tumor, “didn’t really know where to turn” for cancer information. Internet and health-care experts “hadn’t yet really nailed it” in terms of putting “the consumer at the center” when presenting treatment and prevention data.

RevolutionHealth.com and Microsoft’s HealthVault are industry newcomers to creating personal medical records on the web. WebMD has offered privacy-protected records for almost a decade, with millions of consumers using them. An easy-to-access Internet health record would help cancer patients because they typically consult multiple specialists at more than one institution, sometimes in more than one town.

Would consumers fear cyber-storing of sensitive files? Case said no, recalling predictions that “consumers would never enter credit-card information online” – conventional wisdom now proved wrong.
