Vitamin D: Alternative Hypothesis || Paul J. Albert, Weill Cornell Medical College
We hope to show that although vitamin D is currently viewed in a
beneficial light, explanations for how it provides a benefit are
simplistic and imprecise.!We will address liabilities of the disease/
deficiency model for vitamin D and summarize an alternative theory
that, if valid, would necessitate rethinking systematic
supplementation with vitamin D. Co-author: Amy D. Proal, Georgetown University
Emerging Patient-Driven Health Care Models: An Examination of Health Social Networks, Consumer Personalized Medicine and Quantified Self-Tracking
Abstract: A new class of patient-driven health care services is emerging to supplement and extend traditional health care delivery models and empower patient self-care. Patient-driven health care can be characterized as having an increased level of information flow, transparency, customization, collaboration and patient choice and responsibility-taking, as well as quantitative, predictive and preventive aspects. The potential exists to both improve traditional health care systems and expand the concept of health care though new services. This paper examines three categories of novel health services: health social networks, consumer personalized medicine and quantified self-tracking.
