[p2p-research] Important P2P Meme Often Overlooked

[Ryan Lanham]

This is a crucial new theme for P2P which is going unwatched...healthcare
and test.

The new iPhone (3) is going to greatly facilitate device use of nets.  That
will revolutionize this area the way Kindle 2 is revolutionizing print. Yes,
there were forerunners and early innovators, but this is P2P maturity
wherein people will blast large datasets of their own health data to
discussions and analyses and where tests are created to run all sorts of P2P
outcomes with and without physician interactions.  Huge in the developing
world where cell phone nets are common but medicine is rare.

Smart money would bet on this as the vehicle for shattering impasses in
health care costs.  Whole industries now are dying...banking, publishing,
newsprint, etc. in direct P2P terms and almost no one is seeing the thread.
Futurists, where are you?
