Giving A Kick-Ass Presentation In The Age Of Social Media | Fast Company - 2 views

  •  
    All of the people we spoke to for this piece are very effective speakers, and though each has their own distinctive style, there are a few other commonalities I'd like to point out. First, none of them depend on word-laden PowerPoint presentations. Second, most are good storytellers and use humor, often self-deprecating, to connect with their audiences. Finally, each of them manages to keep their presentations short enough to allow time for a healthy Q&A.

CDC - Social Media Tools for Consumers and Partners - Guidelines & Best Practices - 1 views

  •  
    The use of social media tools is a powerful channel to reach target audiences with strategic, effective and user-centric health interventions. To assist in the planning, development and implementation of social media activities, the following guidelines have been developed to provide critical information on lessons learned, best practices, clearance information and security requirements. Although these guidelines have been developed for the use of these channels at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), they may be useful materials for other federal, state and local agencies as well as private organizations to reference when developing social media tools.

The risks and rewards of a health data commons - O'Reilly Radar - 1 views

  • It’s pretty hard to do anything beyond a gift. It’s more like organ donation, where you don’t get to decide where the organs go. What I’m working on is basically a donation, not a conditional gift.
  • people’s attitudes toward risk and benefit change depending on their circumstances. Their own context really affects what they think is risky and what they think isn’t risky.
  • I believe that the early data donors are likely to be people for whom there isn’t a lot of risk perceived because the health system already knows that they’re sick. The health system is already denying them coverage, denying their requests for PET scans, denying their requests for access to care. That’s based on actuarial tables, not on their personal data. It’s based on their medical history.

  • We would like to see exactly how effective big computational approaches are on health data. The problem is that there are two ways to get there. One is through a set of monopoly companies coming together and working together. That’s how semiconductors work. The other is through an open network approach. There’s not a lot of evidence that things besides these two approaches work. Government intervention is probably not going to work.

The worst place in the world to get pregnant - Prospect Magazine « Prospect M... - 0 views

  • In Kenya, if you charged women just 50p for an insecticide-treated bednet (one of the most effective low-cost prophylactics against malaria) demand dropped 75 per cent. Uptake of deworming drugs—an important factor in child development—dropped 80 per cent if a small charge was applied. And in October 2005, the Bamako initiative received a fatal blow from a paper in the British Medical Journal. The study took epidemiological data from 20 African countries and projected what would happen if user fees were removed. The conclusion was that, each year, the lives of 233,000 children under five would be saved.

Will Facebook profiles replace govt web sites? | Articles | FutureGov - Transforming Go... - 1 views

  • “The mixed model [using social media pages and official web sites] raises debate on a compelling issue: how to reconcile the requirements of accessibility with the innovative use of social media. Government web sites are strictly regulated. Private websites are not. Should one allow freer access to public information than the other?”
  • Another big issue concerning what observers are calling the ‘social cloud’ is information security.
  • Security emerged as the overwhelming concern among Hong Kong government officials at the FutureGov Forum, and Sophos research released in February gives officials good reason to worry. Spam and malware on social networking sites increased by 70 per cent in 2009, with Facebook the worst effected site.
