TEDMED 2009 - Day 3
write up of Jamie's TEDMED talk.
Last on the list we're going to cover is Jamie Heywood, co-founder and chairman of the medical networking site PatientsLikeMe. He gave a riveting talk, both in content, presentation, and graphics, on how PatientsLIkeMe is not only providing a support network for patients with similar medical conditions, but is looking to be a hotbed of the aggregate mock clinical trials. The site collects structured data for multiple medical ailments and their associate symptoms, treatments, and responses for each patient. On the individual level this is valuable as a source of record and a way to seek out others who are undergoing similar treatments, but at aggregate this power really shines. Jamie used the example of ALS, which his brother died from, to show just how powerful something like PatientsLIkeMe can really be. A study in PNAS came out that demonstrated that lithium helped to slow the progression of ALS. The study, though, had multiple methodological problems, yet many ALS patients who used PatientsLIkeMe started taking lithium as a result of the study. Using PatientsLIkeMe data to compare those who didn't take lithium to those who did (along with some advance mathematical transformations), they were able to demonstrate that lithium did not have an effect in their patient population. The results for an aggregate patient "trial" like this were vastly quicker than what current medical literature can produce. We're definitely going to keep an eye on PatientsLIkeMe in the next few years.
