Participatory Medicine: Must You Be Rich to Participate?
“Participatory Medicine is a movement in which networked patients shift from being mere passengers to responsible drivers of their health, and in which providers encourage and value them as full partners.[1]”
Our lofty definition of participatory medicine requires patients who are both interested and capable of taking an active role in their health care as well as providers who have time to listen and work together in a partnership with patients.
We fear that this movement may be leaving too many people behind.........
