Hello, Health 2.0 Happy Hour!

Ideas, energy, and appetizers flowed at last night’s Health 2.0 San Francisco Happy Hour.  Passionate 
folks from all fronts of the revolution gathered to network and exchange ideas. 

John de Souza, CEO of host company MedHelp kicked off the presentation part of the evening by confirming that 2010 is indeed an inflection point for Health 2.0.  Companies focused on both consumer and public health technologies are experiencing exponential growth as the adoption of mobile grows and institutions such as hospitals and health care systems are forced to bow to consumers’ demands to manage their own health and associated data.

Director of Online Marketing Rhonda Shrader and Product Manager Kristina Gustafson presented and  demo’ed Thrive Research’s online solutions for teens.  The capacity crowd of entrepreneurs and health care professionals “got it” instantly and generated a lively and informative Q&A.

We’re thrilled with our product as well as our Health 2.0 debut.  This week’s activities have confirmed what we‘ve known for a while…this is cutting edge stuff with the potential to change lives everywhere.

Thanks to our gracious hosts at MedHelp for sharing their lovely downtown loft space and to the Health 2.0 team for putting together a fantastic event.
