How should we define health? A MUST READ BMJ Article
The current WHO definition of health, formulated in 1948, describes health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” At that time this formulation was groundbreaking because of its breadth and ambition. It overcame the negative definition of health as absence of disease and included the physical, mental, and social domains. Although the definition has been criticised over the past 60 years, it has never been adapted. Criticism is now intensifying, and as populations age and the pattern of illnesses changes the definition may even be counterproductive. The paper summarises the limitations of the WHO definition and describes the proposals for making it more useful that were developed at a conference of international health experts held in the Netherlands.

Health Care? Yep, There Ought To Be An App For That by Carmen Gonzalez
Health Care? Yep, There Ought To Be An App For That by Carmen Gonzalez
January 26, 2011 from the SOCIAL MEDIA HEALTHCARE BLOG #HCSM To comment visit: Social Media Healthcare Blog
With Apple already having achieved its 10 billionth iPhone app download, there is sufficient reason to think the age of the app has reached critical mass. What about health care-oriented apps? What can be considered “the best” from the pack? What is still missing from the app menu in medical offerings? Those questions were at the center of the Health Care and Social Media (HCSM) chat group discussion on Twitter last night. To see the full transcript, go to http://healthsocmed.com/2011/01/23/hcsm-january-23-2011/. A summary of the group’s consensus is featured below, along with suggestions from my blogging mates on what more is needed on the app landscape for patients, physicians and health care providers.
Given the patient-centered focus of HCSM chats, it came as no surprise that most members agreed that the best apps are those that affect the practical lives of patients, or as @DaphneLeigh colorfully put it, “[The app] Obviously has to be relevant and friggin’ user-friendly.” For added rigor, @MarksPhone stated, “a good app is one that aids the patient in participating in their health care effectively.”
When the HCSM group was quizzed on their recommended apps that fit that criteria, they offered the following descriptions:
For Patients/Consumers
- apps that build in a social network (e.g. @FitBit or Zeo)
- apps that monitor mood (e.g. Mood Journal)
- apps that track migraine activity (e.g. iManage Migraine)
- apps that log diet and exercise (e.g. Calorie Tracker by LIVESTRONG.COM)
- apps that help patients find clinical trials or learn about the clinical study process (e.g. cTrust and A Guide to Clinical Trials)
For Physicians/Health Care Providers

BMA warns against letting patients have access to their electronic records (BMJ) by e-Patient Dave
BMA warns against letting patients have access to their electronic records (BMJ)
by e-Patient Dave on January 14, 2011 Original Post at e.Patients.net
According to the British Medical Journal, the British Medical Association (BMA) has taken a big, paternalistic step backward regarding patient participation. Or perhaps it’s a step in the right direction, formalizing their position as embracing 20th century thought: they warn that it’s not wise to let patients see their records, doctors will be deluged with emails, etc.
The concerns are familiar but archaic. Kaiser has ten years of experience showing that email reduces the total number of patient touches, and besides, patients love being able to read and write 24/7; etc. Our co-founder Dr. Danny Sands said, “How can patients participate if they can’t see the same information?” And how are they supposed to participate in shared decision making?
It’s not sufficient to say “The doctor will tell the patient whatever they need to know.” The record shows that time-pressured physicians commonly do not. And as we’ve said many times, whose data is it, anyway? Whose health is it?
You’re welcome to comment on the BMJ site. Anyone can submit a “rapid response” comment at this link. The online extract is here.
Note: the BMA was responding to an initiative described in the National Health Service’s white paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS(PDF, 339k), which we wrote about in November.

Salud: Nuevos impuestos para una nueva epidemia by Gonzalo Bacigalupe
¿Impuestos a la comida chatarra en Chile? Estoy de acuerdo. Pese a que es sabrosa y barata, le cuesta caro al país. La obesidad es su resultado más visible.
La obesidad en Chile afecta a cerca de cuatro millones de personas y causa enfermedades crónicas letales, como la hipertensión vascular, diabetes y varias formas de cáncer. Como consecuencia, el aumento en las expectativas de vida corre el peligro de revertirse debido a un estilo de vida que se apoya en la comida chatarra, una de las causas principales de esta epidemia.
¿Por qué la comida chatarra es nuestra enemiga si tantos la consideran sabrosa y barata? Los alimentos nos debieran nutrir, pero la comida chatarra provoca desnutrición debido a sus ingredientes de baja calidad y no provoca saciedad, generando una adicción invisible. El precio es bajo para el consumidor, pero tiene un alto costo para Chile debido a la mayor demanda por salud, el ausentismo laboral y las deficiencias en el aprendizaje escolar debido a enfermedades físicas y sicológicas causadas por la obesidad.
