The American College of Physician Executives have placed all the posters from the "Share Your Story"
session from the recent 2012 Annual Meeting on their website. The poster session highlighted various ways physicians are changing healthcare at their institutions.
I was honored to present in this forum regarding mobile healthcare technology. Through "Bladder Pal" and "Prostate Pal", to date several thousand users have been empowered to track their urologic health.
With the American Urological Association Annual Meeting presentations coming up, there will be more awareness of the apps and hopefully increased usage of these helpful tools.

ACPE meeting debrief - Make your life more like a casino
Just got back from the American College of Physican Executives Annual Meeting.
It was a very enlightening time. I really enjoyed meeting physicians from all over the world with a deep interest in shaping the future of healthcare.
I presented a poster on my mobile apps - Prostate Pal and Bladder Pal that was very well received! I got some great feedback for future directions of the apps...as well as my career with respect to mobile healthcare technologies. Thank you to all those who came by and engaged me about this.
I'd like to focus a little bit on our keynote speaker - Peter Sims, author of the book "Little Bets: How Breakthrough Ideas Emerge from Small Discoveries". He gave a great talk about making small low risk pilot projects and prototypes to drive creativity. Some references he used to support this process were Frank Gehry's extensive use of models to create new buildings, Pixar's way of creating films, and the comedian's use of small venues as a lab to create new material. After his lecture, we participated in fun exercises to demonstrate the "Little Bet" principles that really let our creative juices flow.
Thanks to the meeting, I feel more empowered to take more creative stabs at things and approach life like a player in a casino rather than a nervous soldier in a minefield!

Sharing the Apps at the ACPE 2012 Annual Meeting
I will be speaking about patient empowerment through the use of the Prostate Pal and Bladder Pal mobile apps at the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE) Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
Here's a link to the meeting
If you don't know about the apps here are my previous blog posts about each of them:
What is Bladder Pal?
What is Prostate Pal?
It will be a poster presentation during the "Share Your Story" session on April 28th from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm.
For those who won't be at the meeting, here is the poster:

Over 3,000 users have visited the apps over 10,000 times from countries all over the world!
It's quite gratifying to see that many people use the app to facilitate the tracking of their urologic health.
About me and the ACPE -
Since I have a deep interest in medical management, I've been a member of the ACPE for several years. The organization is at the forefront of physician leadership empowerment. With healthcare in turmoil, I'm happy that the ACPE is giving doctors the training and encouragement to be difference makers and facilitators of change. I'm currently working towards an MBA through the ACPE and U. Mass - Amherst.
