Synopsis:<\/strong> Increasingly, clinicians are encountering a new phenomenon, e-patients, those who seek to participate very actively in decisions about their healthcare and use mobile and social web technologies with sophistication to get health information.<\/p>\n Participatory health technologies include wearable sensors for self-quantification of physiological status (quantifiedself.org) and social networking sites for people to share their healthcare experiences and to analyse their shared health data as well (patientslikeme.com).Did your clinical communication or professional practice lectures prepare you for this?<\/p>\n Are there new information processing capabilities that clinicians need to deal professionally with this phenomenon? Practice guidelines and protocols in this area are beginning to emerge, but mainly to manage risk and protect reputation. More widespread educational leadership is needed to ensure that future clinicians are able to work ethically, efficaciously and efficiently with e-patients.<\/p>\n Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kathleen Gray<\/strong> is a senior researcher in the Health and Biomedical Informatics Centre, The University of Melbourne (http:\/\/healthinformatics.unimelb.edu.au.
