TR35: Paul Wicks, 30 - Technology Review

Excerpt:

Each day, thousands of people around the world open an automated e-mail asking, "How do you feel now?" The e-mail's recipients belong to a social network called PatientsLikeMe, and nearly all have been diagnosed with a life-changing illness such as epilepsy, Parkinson's, chronic depression, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). By answering this simple question, they are participating in an ambitious experiment that is challenging conventional ideas about health care and accelerating the pace of medical research.
