Revolution Health

Revolution Health

I just became aware of this Steve Case (co-founder of AOL) initiative. Other big-name players are on-board, such as former Secretary of State Colin Powell. I haven't yet delved into the details of the organization, but on its surface, it looks promising.

Revolution CEO: John Pleasants

This morning, Fard Johnmar was invited to a beta-version of the website created by Revolution Health. Fard's post summarizes the challenges of the consumer-driven healthcare movement and how Revolution Health is trying to address such challenges.

Fard then goes on to give a brief tour of the beta-site and his opinions/analysis about whether or not the whole venture will work.

I'm sure we will all be hearing a lot more about Revolution Health in 2007.

Fard wonders if the company is trying to do too much. Personally, I think that there does need to be some major consolidation of medical information providers. Everyone wants to be the trusted site, but with so many sites around, none are all that well known, and it is hard to trust any of them. Perhaps Revolution Health can generate the type of trust for which I am looking.
