Yeah, that makes sense to me, Kate. I think the intent behind the whole idea was that, as a rule, patient-physician relationships function at different levels. I can see where in some situations, that relationship would function at the most basic level, ...

Thanks for doing that extra research, Dave. I read the recent article on patient participation, but maybe the site had different URLs and I grabbed the wrong one. ------Original Message------ Great to see you, Andy! First, I had no IDEA there's ...

Propagate the info about the study on patient-centered platforms, such as Patients Like Me, FB disease-specific groups, etc. But I'm sure you've already thought of that one.   Can you drum up any media interest in the study and get free exposure that ...

I don't know if: 1. Connect would have enough information to pass to program; 2. Connect would allow you to embed a link to access outside program. Also I don't want to commit to a Connect-centric solution if we wind up changing platforms. ...

Another thought on this general subject - the need for a published *anything* kinda goes away in a case where every consumer / patient has wised up to the reality that nobody is perfect and all knowledge you ever learned is temporary anyway, so we all ...
